Anchin Center hosts the first Math by the Bay Summit
The Math by the Bay Summit was held on September 19, 2023, in TECO Hall at the College of Education 91tvӰԺ. Dr. Sarah van Ingen Lauer and Dr. David Allsopp facilitated school district teams from Hillsborough, Sarasota, Pinellas, Hernando, Polk, and Manatee in a deep discussion related to the challenges and solutions of helping all students achieve in mathematics.
District leaders showed appreciation for the time spent together sharing thoughts and ideas. One participant wrote, “It was eye-opening that it seems all school districts are struggling with very similar issues. It gives me hope that collectively we can find solutions.”
This is the first of several meetings, with a plan to create an interdisciplinary and synergistic community of stakeholders dedicated to launching a mathematics success trajectory for struggling learners in the Tampa Bay area.
This collaborative effort aims to bridge the achievement gap in math education and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, receive the support and resources needed to excel in mathematics. By pooling resources, knowledge, and experiences, the Tampa Bay educational community aspires to make significant strides in math education. This group will convene again in December, 2023.
