Grounded in the Real Work of Teaching

These pathways are crafted to support the real-world design decisions you make every day—what to teach, how to teach it, and how to honor students in the process. Each course helps you build instruction that is authentic, rigorous, and relevant.

Learning That Lives in the World

You are designing more than lessons—you’re designing experiences that help students see themselves, ask better questions, and engage powerfully with their world.

Teaching Math for Hope and Impact is a national pathway for educators who want to teach mathematics with authenticity, relevance, and human purpose. Anchored in the four IAAM practices—Immerse, Adapt, Amplify, and Mobilize—the fellowship helps teachers design learning from real-world inquiry, student and community wisdom, and purposeful mathematical modeling. Participants learn to create math experiences that deepen belonging, affirm culture, and move young people toward agency and impact.

Perfect for:
Educators ready to deepen their everyday practice and design learning that reflects who students are—and who they’re becoming.
