Distinguished speakers will be featured throughout the conference. Each will address important issues in mathematics education and leadership. Each of the celebrated speakers below will present a session during the 58th NCSM Annual Conference in Denver, CO.
We are excited to share that our opening keynote speaker will be Dr. Anthony Muhammad!
Anthony Muhammad, PhD, is an author and international thought leader. He worked as a practitioner for nearly 20 years, serving as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal.

Title: Transforming School Culture 2.0: Why Culture is Important Today, Tomorrow, and Forever
This decade has proven that there is only one constant, and that constant is change. We have experienced a global pandemic and clashing political ideologies shaping polarizing government policies. Despite all this change, children still need to be educated and the best way to educate them, regardless of external dynamics, is to operate as a Professional Learning Community (PLC). Schools that create healthy, strong cultures produce an environment where collaboration can thrive.
We are excited to share that our closing keynote speaker will be Brooke Gregory!

Calculated Momentum: Taking the NCSM conference home!
In this two-part experience, we will explore the move from the “intellectual bubble” of a conference to the “boots on the ground” of life at home. We will calculate the mathematics of learning application, effective networking and professional sustainability. During the second part of the session, several conference participants and leaders will share key insights and advice as we close this experience. Together, we’ll center the elevation of purpose, possibility and joy!
