Equity, Access, and Opportunity: Advancing Maryland Mathematics
We will focus on PreK–12 Maryland Mathematics Policy and the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, both of which call for high-quality, equitable mathematics instruction that supports every learner. Our sessions center on student identity, how to broaden access to rigorous content, and sharing innovative practices that move math teaching forward—especially for those historically underserved. Whether you’re working with students, supporting educators, or reimagining systems, this is your opportunity to learn to advance mathematics education in Maryland.
Our program will offer a variety of session topics including content-focused sessions, instructional strategies, classroom assessment techniques, addressing the needs of learners, mathematics coaching and leadership for K-12 teachers as well as Math Educators from Maryland's Two- and Four-Year Colleges and Universities.

Conference Strands
1. Cultivating Equitable Math Classrooms
Designed for classroom teachers, this strand focuses on instructional practices that foster access, engagement, and high expectations for all students—including multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and those from historically marginalized communities. Sessions may include routines that support discourse, strategies for differentiating instruction, and approaches that build student identity and agency in math.
2. Empowering Classrooms with Tools and Data
This strand explores how educators use formative assessment, student thinking, and technology tools to inform responsive instruction and advance equitable outcomes. Sessions may include data-driven decision-making, digital learning platforms, accessibility features, or tech-enabled tasks that support deeper learning.
3. Designing Meaningful and Inclusive Math Learning
This strand invites sessions that focus on high-quality mathematics content, culturally responsive curriculum design, and meaningful learning experiences. Topics may include designing tasks that connect to students’ lived experiences, elevating historically excluded mathematicians and histories, and aligning curriculum with the PreK-12 Maryland Mathematics Policy and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ visions for mathematics teaching and learning.
4. Coaching for Equity and Teacher Learning
Tailored for math coaches, specialists, mentors, and teacher educators, this strand highlights professional learning experiences, coaching models, and leadership moves that support educator growth and equity-focused practice. Proposals may focus on content-based coaching, collaborative inquiry, or systems for sustaining teacher development.
