The Colorado Mathematics Leaders exists to:
- Build collaboration and share expertise among Colorado mathematics leaders,
- Provide ongoing experiences, information, and support to enable mathematics leaders to assume leadership roles which lead to positive mathematics experiences for students in Colorado, and
- Establish and maintain a communication network among leaders and other related educational leaders and entities, including the Colorado Department of Education.
Who is a math leader?
If you are reading this, you are probably a math leader! Our members have many different titles, such as math specialist, math coordinator, instructional partner, math TOSA, and instructional coach. But you don't have to have a special title—you could be a math teacher, or a principal, or a consultant, or a vendor, or anyone else in Colorado with an interest in the purpose of CML.
Featured 2024-2025 Activities
Monthly Meetings
CML meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month. The 2024-2025 meeting dates are: September 3, October 1, November 5, December 3, January 7, February 4, March 4, April 1, and May 6. Meetings are held via Zoom from 12:30 - 2:30. Information about each meeting is sent in advance via the CML email group.
Book Study
CML engages in book studies to increase the knowledge of math leaders across Colorado. The book study for 2024-2025 will be held monthly on a Thursday from 4:30 to 5:15 pm on September 19, November 21, January 23, and March 13. This year's book is Jennifer Bay-Williams's Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics.
Math Pathways
Too many high school students are not served well by the math options currently offered to them. Prompted by publications like Catalyzing Change, CML has combined with partners around Colorado and joined the Launch Years Initiative, a multi-state effort to design modern math pathways for students where they can find greater relevance and success.
Connecting with CML
How we meet and keep in touch
CML conducts almost all of its work virtually, both asyncronously and synchronously.
- Via email: CML uses Groups.io for its email communication, a modern alternative to email-based platforms like Yahoo! Groups and Google Groups. Anyone can create and maintain their own Groups.io account and use that account to subscribe to groups, including the Colorado Math Leaders. Groups.io also is where you'll find our CML calendar and an archive of CML emails going back to 2018. To subscribe, go to groups.io/g/comathleaders or simply send an email to comathleaders+subscribe@groups.io.
- Via Zoom: CML uses Zoom for its videoconferencing platform. Information about using Zoom to join each CML meeting can be found in the emails and agendas sent out by email prior to the meeting.
