What to expect
The academy runs as a short, immersive cohort. Sessions split into K–2 and 3–5 grade bands so the work you do matches what you'll teach in September. Dates, venue, and pricing are confirmed each year — join the waitlist for the next cohort's details.
Number sense, addition and subtraction structures, early geometry and measurement, taught the way the IM materials build them.
Multiplicative reasoning, fractions, decimals, and the move toward proportional thinking, through IM's problem-based lessons.
- Full days of certified IM Math™ facilitation
- K–2 and 3–5 grade-band sessions
- Multi-day seminars include accommodations and meals
- Take-home materials and direct access to Rosanne
Who it's for: the K–5 teacher your district hired after the IM rollout, the school principal who wants two staff trained before September, and the teacher whose district hasn't adopted IM yet but is thinking about it.

Common questions
How is this different from Build Math Minds and similar subscription PD?
Build Math Minds is a curriculum-agnostic video library, useful for a teacher building general fluency but not for one about to open an IM Math™ unit on Monday. The Summer Academy is a short, immersive cohort of certified IM training with grade-band sessions and direct access to a facilitator who has implemented IM in districts like yours.
Can my district fund this from a general PD budget?
Yes. The per-teacher fee is designed to fit a discretionary school PD budget: no Title II-A reliance, no grant dependency, no district-level procurement.
