GLEAM^TM Instruction

It is important that educators are supported in providing ALL students with GLEAM^TM instruction that contributes to deep mathematics learning.

GLEAM^TM instruction is …

• grade-level
• engaging
• affirming
• meaningful

Over the past few years, WI educators have had the opportunity to work with UnboundEd, studying and implementing GLEAM^TM instruction. Read this blog post written by a Wisconsin instructional coach that summarizes GLEAM^TM as a support for intentionally planning for rigorous learning. The blog post also provides direct links to UnboundEd GLEAM^TM resources.

When considering grade-level mathematics instruction, it is important that learning and teaching are aligned with grade-level content standards alongside WI’s eight practice standards. These practices, or habits of mind, support sense-making, deep learning, and address engagement and belonging as they recognize the role of both procedural knowledge and conceptual understanding in mathematics. Read Putting Practice at the Core of Math Education from Just Equations for more information.
