For the Virtual Summit, I cannot tell which sessions you attend and for how long, so there isn’t a way for me to give you a certificate of completion for PD hours.  However, I am working on a way for you to document how much time you spend and which sessions you watch.

Inside the BMM Community, we are currently developing a way to track the amount of time you spend watching PD videos so that you can receive hours and we will be offering university credits each semester for those hours.

Absolutely! If you are a math coach or teacher leader and plan to use the content during your PLCs or other collaboration times, you are welcome to show videos during that time.

However, if you want each teacher to be able to watch the trainings on their own time, whenever is convienent to them, AND for them to be able to track their hours and earn PD hours, then each person would need their own login. Your school can purchase bulk seats using this order form. 

Most schools can’t purchase a monthly membership for you.  However, they may be able to purchase a full year’s access.

If for some reason your school will only do a 3 month or 6 month enrollment, just email us and we can see what we can work up.

The content inside the community spans the grade bands from PreK through 5th grade. Some months may focus more on PreK-2nd, while other months might be more 3rd-5th, and other months might be general information that spans all the grade levels.

Either way, it is a fundamental belief of mine that we all should learn about content in grades above and below the grades we teach to help us understand where our kids are coming from and where they will be going.

We take purchase orders when a school purchases a yearly enrollment. We don’t take purchase orders for monthly enrollments.

If your school wants to purchase a yearly enrollment, fax or email us this order form. Make sure to talk with other teachers at your school, as there are bulk discounts available on the form.

Enrollment closes August 10 and I only open enrollment for the Build Math Minds Community a few times a year.  So, if you don’t enroll now you can wait to enroll when it opens back up.

When you enroll, your membership is locked in at that rate as long as you stay a member. As more content gets added into the community, the price of the membership will most likely go up for new members. But, your price will never go up while you are enrolled in the community.

Some communities are a one-time fee to join and you get access to everything they have, forever. But all you get is the stuff that they have already created and they aren’t adding anything new.

In this membership community, I continually add new content each month. There are trainings that are in there already and you have access to right away, but there will always be new content being created and added.

The free Build Math Minds Facebook group is a place I post links to activities and other math education people that I love. Basically, I’m sharing WHAT things you should be doing in your classroom. But, I don’t do any trainings in that group.

So, to me the biggest difference is that in the paid BMM community you get professional development video trainings from me that help you understand the WHY behind the math, the standards, and the activities, not just WHAT you need to be teaching.
