Mrs. Stacy Cockrell and Mrs. Kristy Thurman recently completed their first week as members of the Mathematics Coaching Academy of Mississippi (MCAM), a professional development program facilitated by the Mississippi Department of Education’s Division of Mathematics Coaching.
MCAM is designed to support K–12 math coaches, lead teachers, and instructional leaders by providing training in effective mathematics instruction and coaching practices. Participants engage in ongoing learning to strengthen math content knowledge and support instructional improvement at the school and district levels.
Cockrell and Thurman are among educators from across the state selected to participate in this year’s cohort.
