Together in this 90 minute guided planning session, you’ll backward plan Unit 1 with your actual curriculum—so your goals, pacing, and materials are locked in before the back-to-school chaos hits.
You just need a better system...and the Unit Planning Workshops are perfect for you if...
Teaching Math Expressions for the first time? Let’s make sure you don’t spend the first month figuring it out alone. I'll walk you through all the ins and outs of the curriculum.
You don’t have to do it alone—join other teachers from all over the country that are in your grade level. Real teachers. Same grade. Shared goals.
Ever wonder how to help your students that need more support or enrichment? I'll teach you how to assess, evaluate, instruct, and meet the needs of every students.
Spoiler alert- you can't fit it all in, but I'm going to show you exactly what to prioritize to maximize student results and take the stress off of YOU.
You'll Walk Away With:
✅ A Real Unit Plan—Not Just Ideas
You’ll leave with a completed, ready-to-use roadmap for Unit 1 that aligns with your curriculum and your students’ needs.
âś… Clarity on What to Teach (and What to Skip)
Know exactly what your standards expect and how to prioritize the content that matters most—without feeling behind before you even start.
âś… Feedback and Support from a Math Expressions Expert
You’ll get answers to the tricky stuff—what to do when the lessons feel off, when the pacing doesn’t fit, or when you’re just not sure what to emphasize.
âś… A Collaborative Space With Teachers Just Like You
You’re not planning alone. Connect with same-grade teachers across the country who get the challenges you face.
âś… Time-Saving Planning Strategies That Work in Real Classrooms
No more guessing. You’ll learn simple frameworks to tackle pacing, differentiation, and lesson flow—without hours of extra prep.
✅ Student-Centered Tools You’ll Actually Use
We’ll build plans around what your students need—not just what the teacher manual says—so your instruction is focused, flexible, and effective.
✅ Confidence That You’re Starting Strong
You’ll leave knowing Unit 1 is handled—and that the rest of your year is already on steadier ground.
I know how packed your days are—because I’ve been there.
With 20+ years of experience planning and teaching every Math Expressions unit, I’ll show you what really works, what to prioritize, and how to make your time count.
LIVE Planning Workshop
Together, let's develop a clear roadmap for Unit 1 and learn techniques to support diverse learners effectively so you can start the year with a plan you feel great about.
Take The Test Together
We'll go through your specific unit test together and collaborate with each other, noting anything that was a challenge to teach previously so your planning can be smarter.
'Do The Math'
This hands-on workshop wouldn't be complete if we didn't try the math out ourselves. You'll be more prepared than ever to use these materials in your class!
One Big Idea At A Time
Live with me, we'll go big idea by big idea- looking at the quick quiz and how to teach that big idea's content through the Build, Draw, Write, Talk method.
Build. Draw. Write. Talk
Let's make this the year your students finally retain what you teach them. We'll go through the Build, Draw, Write, Talk method and how it can help anchor math skills.
Backwards Plan
Take part in my signature backwards planning method as we plan out your ENTIRE unit 1! The best part is you can use what you've learned to plan all of your units the rest of the year.
You CAN start next school year with confidence & clarity!
"Among the many elements that make up an effective educator, the most important is self-efficacy—the belief that one has the abilities and resources necessary to accomplish a set goal."
Chase Mielke, ASCD

"A 2019 study highlighted that, on average, teachers received only one to two days of professional learning tailored to specific instructional materials, and a recent analysis by RAND Corporation indicates that roughly 23% of teachers reported receiving no professional learning on how to implement classroom materials, 38% just one to five hours, and only 10% more than 20 hours."
(Short & Hirsh, 2022; EdReports, 2022; Doan et al., 2021).
