DCSD MathFest 2026

We preach that ALL students can learn math, but the data is painting a devastating picture of MANY students not learning math. Why? We hang posters in our classrooms, make t-shirts, and theme conferences around the mantra. Why aren’t the posters, t-shirts, and mantras working? We cannot preach that ALL students can learn math when we teach in a way that makes learning math inaccessible to so many. Recent breakthroughs in cognitive science reveal hidden needs for students to rise and thrive to unprecedented levels of mathematical achievement. These 7 unconscious pre-requisites are the unexpected difference makers in transforming students from apathy to achievement. Join best-selling author and international speaker for a fast-paced, engaging keynote to discover the tools you need to ensure ALL students learn math.
