Tears of joy, awe, laughter, and overwhelming gratitude filled the air as we welcomed these very special guests to the EdLight Math Summit! During our final dinner, we were paid a visit from the wonderful Essentials Step Team from Ron Clark Academy 👣. The Ron Clark Academy (RCA) employs innovative techniques to keep students engaged and excited throughout the course of their days. In addition to providing plentiful opportunities for teachers to visit and learn their unique approach to education, RCA also has a robust arts program, which includes Essentials! As a token of our support (and amazement), EdLight provided a $10,000 donation to the Ron Clark Academy to continue their tremendous work. Thank you to RCA's Essentials Step Team for spending the day with us and showing off your hard work, discipline, and great moves 🕺🏿!

Check out Day 2 of our EdLight Math Summit Rewind! 🌪️📚 James O’Neal (James ONeal, Jr., M.Ed.), Founder of Mastery for All, hosted an interactive workshop on how we can make math more enjoyable for students entitled, “This is Math Joy: 4 Essential Ingredients for Thriving Math Classrooms!” 🏫🎒 James grounded us in four cultures that we can all use to make our classrooms a motivating and electrifying place for students:   ⚡ Praise ⚡ Competence  ⚡ Belonging  ⚡ Autonomy The more we emphasize that students are equal partners in their education, the more they feel connected and responsible for their journey. Thank you James for leading such an amazing session!

Did you miss the EdLight Math Summit 📚💡? Lucky for you, our team is ready to recap all we’ve learned! Earlier this month, EdLight, PBC held our first Math Summit in Atlanta, GA to bring leaders directly from classrooms, academia, and the industry together to explore how to increase pathways for students to find a joy of learning in mathematics that is grounded in equity and impact. We were graciously able to host the esteemed Dr. Nicole M. Joseph, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Vanderbilt Peabody College, for our opening keynote. Dr. Joseph grounded us in her extensive research on the intersectional experiences of Black girls and women in mathematics by walking us through the following guiding questions: 🌟 Why are Black girls disproportionately underrepresented in mathematics? 🌟 What do we know about Black girls and math learning? 🌟 What can we do? We thank Dr. Joseph, along with our network of educators for deepening this ongoing conversation!  If you'd like to hear more about EdLight, sign up here! https://lnkd.in/gzZ-dY6z We light the path for teachers to provide equitable, student-centered feedback by making it easy to pay attention to student work. #EdLightMathSummit #EdLightPBC #EquityinMath #AIinEducation #Education #EdTechSolutions

💡 Speaker Highlight 💡 With just 4 days until the EdLight Math Summit, we are thrilled to share another glimpse at our powerful speaker lineup! Today's highlight features BUILD's Youth Advisors, leading a session entitled "Elevating Student Voices: Co-Creating Joyful and Equitable Math Education". 🚀 How can we transform math education to be more engaging and equitable? 🚀 What insights can students offer to cultivate a passion for mathematics? Amara, Edgar, Kaylen, and Sonali will be leading an interactive and invigorating workshop where educators will learn firsthand from youth leaders about creating environments that foster a love for mathematics. BUILD's Youth Advisors will share their own lived experiences in K-12, offering valuable insights into making math education relevant, engaging, and equitable. What better way to experience how elevating student voices can transform learning and inspire all students to find joy in math! BUILD's mission is to ignite the power of youth in under-resourced communities to build career success, entrepreneurial mindsets, and opportunity. We are so grateful for your partnership, Cindy Pineda & Mo Foster. #EdLightMathSummit #EdLightPBC #EquityinMath

💡 Speaker Highlight 💡 The EdLight Math Summit is just ONE WEEK AWAY! We are honored to host an esteemed lineup of session speakers. Today's highlight features Malika Ali and Dr. Christopher Dondré Trémor Roblész! Check out a snapshot of their sessions below. "Improving Student Access to Math HQIM with Thinking Routines", led by Malika Ali, will empower educators to... ✏ access powerful instructional routines that can be applied across subject areas and grade levels, ✏ learn a step-by-step implementation process to roll out thinking routines with low-stakes scenarios leading to rigorous academic tasks, and ✏ explore research and case studies that demonstrate how making student thinking visible supports improved student experiences and outcomes. "How to STOP Scholars from saying “I don’t Know” in math!", led by Dr. Christopher Dondré Trémor Roblész, will inspire educators to... ✏ equip students with the tools to understand mathematical concepts ultimately helping the learner minimize misconceptions, ✏ support students' self awareness of their academic achievements, and ✏ increase student motivation and academic achievement to engage further in mathematical concepts. #EdLightMathSummit #EdLightPBC #EquityinMath

Just two weeks away from the EdLight Math Summit in Atlanta! 💡 EdLight, PBC is (beyond) thrilled to bring together an incredible lineup of speakers to explore how we can collectively increase pathways for students to find a joy of learning in mathematics that is grounded in equity and impact. Our Summit will focus on ensuring that traditionally under-represented students are prioritized and on unlocking student motivation, engagement, and persistence. Our speakers will be diving deep to lead us in the practice of... 🔍 Identifying which students are most at risk of being left behind 🔍 Reflecting on how our journeys as mathematicians shape our decisions in classrooms and beyond 🔍 Creating, implementing, and sustaining a joy of mathematics in students by leveraging their work We are excited to learn, share, and grow with this inspiring community, and are grateful for the partnership of our session leaders! Teryn Thomas, Dr. Nicole Joseph, Kenan Bishop, Brandy Nelson, James ONeal, Jr., M.Ed., Jonathan Doane, Ph.D., Jerry Silva, Rogers Williams, LMSW, Ed.S., Dana Coleman, Laura D., Dr. Christopher Dondré Trémor Roblész, Olivia Nelson, Colleen Bolton, Malika Ali, and a very special shoutout to the BUILD Youth Fellows! #EdLightMathSummit #EdLightPBC #EquityinMath #MathEducation
