Kentucky Mathematics Coach Collegial Support (VIRTUAL) with Cindy Aossey & Dee Crescitelli (2026-2027) This is Year 3 for this online professional learning and support opportunity from the KCM for KENTUCKY K-12 Mathematics Coaches only. This group is for anyone working in Kentucky in a supportive role to teachers, which includes School Administrators. The KCM created this collegial support group so mathematics coaches throughout the Commonwealth could network and connect with each other. Together, this group will explore coaching resources and discuss ways to support teachers in their pedagogy and content knowledge grounded in Kentucky Academic Standards.
This 2026-2027 Collegial Support Group for Kentucky Math Coaches includes the following:
1. Seven1-hour monthly ZOOM meetings on Thursday afternoons where participants can interact with fellow KY math coaches and learn from KCM Leaders including Director Cindy Aossey and Faculty Assocaite Dee Crescitelli, along with other special guest speakers.
2. Opportunities to connect and collaborate with KY math coaches to share ideas and experiences.
3. Active participants will receive a copy of the book The 5 Practices in Practice: Successfully Orchestrating Mathematics Discussions. When each KY Math Coach registers for this event, they will select the grade band of this book that they wish to receive: Elementary, Middle School, or High School. 4. Because virtual is great but in-person is better, the KCM will hold a special, invitation-only, get-together session for this group at the 2027 KCM Conference in Lexington on March 8th or 9th.
COST: FREE for Kentucky math coaches. (You must work as a math coach or administrator in a KY school or school district to join this group.)

The Kentucky Mathematics Teacher Leaders (KYMTL) program brings together K–12 teachers and teacher leaders who are interested in implementing and sharing best practices in their classrooms, schools, and districts. Participating in this group is a one-year commitment that begins in September. Participants meet monthly, either on a Wednesday afternoon (4:45–6:00 PM ET) or Saturday morning (8:30–9:15 AM ET), for virtual professional learning sessions. Participants choose the monthly session day and time that works best for them. Full-group sessions (either virtual or in-person) will be offered 1 or 2 Saturdays per year.
This professional learning and support group was formed by the Kentucky Center for Mathematics (KCM) in 2020; and since that first year, the passionate members have advanced their careers and helped bring about positive changes in their classrooms, schools, and districts! (You can view the current and past KyMTLs on the the KCM website's KYMTL page under the LEADERS tab.) There is no cost for Kentucky teaches to participate in this group. Participants attend meetings facilitated by KCM Faculty Associate/NKU Education Associate Professor Funda Gonulates or other invited guest speakers who are leaders in mathematics education.
Registration for the 2026-2027 KyMTL Program will close on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
