2025-2026 Kentucky Math Teacher Leaders (KyMTL)

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 with an in-person meeting in September. Participants then meet monthly, either on a Wednesday evening (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. The year concludes with a second in-person meeting in April.

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 the monthly ZOOM meetings and in-person workshops facilitated by KCM Faculty Associate/NKU Education Associate Professor Funda Gonulates or other invited guest speakers who are leaders in mathematics education.
