PAM HARRIS CONSULTING
Pam lives and breathes professional development and mathematics. Whether Pam is teaching a university pre-service class, writing a book, or traveling to a workshop, she is busy finding ways to help math teachers be more effective. Pam is often delivering keynote addresses, presentations, and workshops to math teachers and leaders, helping them become better at enabling their students to become mathematicians.Â
Pam offer keynotes, presentations, workshops, and on-going campus support with a multiple entry/multiple exit, K-12 perspective – a vision for the future and steps we can take today.

Keynotes & Presentations
Pam loves doing keynote addresses. They are for large groups and can be on a variety of topics, geared for any and all of K-12. She frequently addresses classroom teachers and/or team leaders, coaches, and administrators. Pam facilitates opportunities for attendees to construct mathematical relationships and connections. Teachers are invited to re-examine their underlying assumptions about teaching and learning so that they can make choices that align with their core beliefs. These addresses are great for broad audiences — everybody walks away with something new to think about.
Keynote Snippet
Presentations are a little different from keynotes in that they are often geared toward a specific grade band, lesson type, or teaching topic. These are shorter than workshops and can be for any size group. Presentations are designed to excite and engage teachers with a vision of what is possible in a classroom and provide them with a few new things to implement. They address an overall approach to teaching math that has cohesiveness and integrity to what we believe about teaching and learning.
For keynotes and presentations, we offer tailored messages for institutions and conferences. We can customize by length, grade band(s), and focus. Some of the topics we address are:
- Developing Mathematical Reasoning – all about the domains of reasoning, how to build in students, making sense of the shifts in math education
- Building Powerful Numeracy – the major, efficient and sophisticated strategies, how to teach them, and their place with the traditional algorithms
- Problem Strings – a mini-lesson format for all students, a launchpad for all teachers
- Sequencing Tasks – it’s more than a few cool activities, it’s about development
- Mathematical Modeling – “Model” has at least 8 distinct meanings in mathematics teaching – we address this to clarify our teaching, student thinking, and strategy building.
