Math Education Consulting

Henri Picciotto

henri-hmmm_low

After 42 years in the classroom, from counting to calculus, I have retired from teaching in order to concentrate on writing, curriculum development, and consulting.

As a consultant, I offer the following services:
  • Professional development workshops
  • Math program review
  • Teacher and department chair coaching

Of course, I can only help based on my own experience and beliefs. To find out about my philosophy, read some of the articles (or watch the videos) on my About Teaching page. Or read my book. For a sense of my background and experience, see my résumé.

Professional Development Workshops

I can offer professional development workshops for math teachers (half a day to a whole week) on a wide range of middle school and high school topics. For example:
◊ Visual Algebra, including the Lab Gear
◊ Hands-On Geometry
Transformational Geometry
◊ No Limits! (Algebra 2, Trig, Precalculus)
Tool-rich pedagogy
For many more possibilities, see:
My presentations and workshops
My résumé

Schools can combine onsite professional development for their math department with service to the broader education community by hosting my summer workshops.

Program Review

I can help schools review and strengthen their math program.
◊ Department self-assessment and values clarification
◊ Strategies to reach the full range of students
◊ Teaching math in the long period
◊ Moving towards a student-centered classroom
◊ Teacher collaboration and department-building

As they make changes, some schools have asked me to make a presentation for a parents' "Math Night". One school made a video: Trends in Math Education.

Coaching

I can help teachers improve their practice, and department chairs develop their leadership, through on-site visits and remote support.

I share my ideas with the broader educational community
on this website, at conferences, through summer workshops, in a newsletter, and in a blog.
