Exponential Growth

Math Institute

Transform your mathematical teaching and learning while building long-lasting relationships with other math educators across the Tulsa Region. Exponential Math Professional Development is a year-long, in-depth professional development that will help you provide students with rich and relevant mathematical experiences through hands-on learning, elevation of students’ math mindset, and integration of math and literacy. This cohort has a three-year rotation cycle where first-year participants are given priority in the cycle. Each new cohort will have a two-day summer institute with two additional follow-up sessions—one in the Fall and one in the Spring.

Join nationally recognized mathematics educator Dr. Martha Parrott as she guides you through a dynamic learning experience grounded in research-based best practices. Dr. Parrott serves as Professor of Mathematics at Northeastern State University in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where she also holds several key leadership roles: Assistant Dean of the Gregg Wadley College of Science and Health Professions, Chair of the M.Ed. Mathematics Education program, and Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. As a DaVinci Fellow, Dr. Parrott is celebrated for her innovative and creative approaches to teaching mathematics across all grade levels.

Workshop Dates

Accepted applicants are expected to attend both full days in the summer and both follow-up days in the fall and spring. Please do not apply if you are unable to attend all session dates for your chosen cohort.
