“Ted, Dave, and Joleigh have been true catalysts for change in mathematics education in Maryland. Their expertise and credibility are unmatched, and their deep networks and trusted relationships have helped turn bold ideas into real movement. They have helped us move beyond talking about change to making meaningful change for students. We simply would not be where we are today (or have the momentum and excitement around mathematics that we do) without their guidance and partnership."
Robert Richardson, Coordinator of Mathematics, Maryland State Department of Education
