Personalized Elementary Math Services
to help facilitate positive math journeys for all students as they develop into life long mathematicians!
Training Built for ALL Students To Succeed While Developing Positive Math Identities
In order for us to create opportunities for our students to develop mathematically, we need to first understand the trajectories of early math development within the three basic pillars of math instruction: math fact fluency, problem solving, and understanding the progressions of the content standards. I customize my training to the specific needs of your district and provide you with resources that allow you to get started right away in developing students who are flexible, risk-taking, and confident mathematicians!

What People Are Saying
“Ann Elise Record’s professional development workshops have transformed everything about how I teach math! She taught me how to assess students, teach in a way that all students understand numbers, make growth, and develop a true love for math. I was fearful to put it all into practice, but Ann Elise was always there to share her knowledge, ideas, resources, and encouragement. This year was a huge success! Now I only have a love relationship with math and so do all my students thanks to Ann Elise Record!”
“During the Summer of 2020, Ann Elise Record provided twenty-six hours of professional learning via Zoom to teachers from our Educational Service Unit. As the facilitator of the sessions, I had the opportunity to not only listen to Ann Elise as she shared information, but also was able to hear the feedback from the participating teachers. The teachers overwhelmingly rated Ann Elise’s sessions at the top of our rating scale in content, delivery, and usability in the classroom. Many of them commented that Ann Elise’s Zoom facilitation was the best they had ever experienced. We have already scheduled Ann Elise for more sessions to support teachers and are looking forward to a continued relationship.”
There is no amount of gratitude that would show Ann Elise how appreciative we are of her extensive knowledge and the work she has done with our elementary school teachers, math interventionists, and most importantly our students. Ann Elise was contracted with us for multiple years, and in that short amount of time, she worked with our interventionists and teachers to implement a variety of instructional strategies with our students that allowed them to attain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts that many students struggle with. Her knowledge of student understanding and expectations at each grade level was easily evident at every professional development she led. Ann Elise never shied from demonstrating these instructional strategies–quite the opposite. All of her trainings included going to our elementary schools and into the actual classrooms and running activities with the students and teachers, together. This modeling allowed for a solid understanding of instructional strategies, and teachers always knew the ‘why’ before the ‘how.’ You don’t have to take my word for it, however, as the proof is in the data. Over the past 3 years, which includes data from COVID years, every single one of our 13 elementary schools showed large gains in their mathematical diagnostic scores, with some schools increasing their percentage of proficient students on the i-Ready diagnostic more than 20%. The gap between our reading scores and our math scores has been closing (which is not the case nationally, nor historically), with multiple schools actually surpassing reading levels, which nationally is a rarity! If you are a teacher, administrator or district that is considering hiring Ann Elise for professional development, I have 2 words for you: DO.IT. You will not regret the decision, and it will be the best decision your district will ever make for your teachers, but most importantly, for your students.

“The way Ann Elise pours her heart and soul into math is evident in her presentation. Top notch and beyond passionate!”
“After my son was coming home from school deflated, due to struggling with maths I decided to take things into my own hands. With the support of Ann Elise we staring exploring number relationships with him. After 6 weeks of spending 10-15 minutes with him a day I saw him make more process than he had in 12 months of school. However the icing on the cake was when he came home from school and told me he “was good at maths”. This was confirmed by his classroom teacher, at parent teacher interview, who said not only had my son’s confidence grow with him now participating in class discussions regarding mathematic concepts, but he was also getting the answers correct. Thank you!”
