What my clients are saying.

Eduardo A.

Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction

Beth Curran has been our essential and trusted educational partner as our school district has been implementing the Math in Focus series in grades K - 8. Ms. Curran has a deep understanding of the Singapore Math philosophy and approach, and she is uniquely skilled at working with teachers to make sense of the curriculum and use it to effectively meet students' varied needs. Due to her extensive experience with the Singapore Math approach, Ms. Curran has been able to provide our teachers with examples of proven and practical strategies and resources. She has also modeled these strategies in the classroom, and we recorded those lessons on videos to build a professional development library for teachers. 

Ms. Curran is highly professional and effective working directly with administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Teachers trust and respect her, and she is an invaluable resource for administrators like me who need the tools and support necessary to ensure our program implementation is a success. Through her demonstration lessons, parent workshops, and co-planning and co-teaching lessons, Ms. Curran has helped our faculty not only teach the lessons as designed, but she has also challenged them to think about problem solving and instruction at a deeper level. Whenever we contact Ms. Curran with difficult and detailed questions, she provides timely and thoughtful responses that keep us moving in the right direction. Thanks to Ms. Curran's support, our implementation has been remarkably smooth and successful. 

There are no shortcuts to excellence in mathematics teaching and learning, and having Ms. Curran's guidance and support has made all the difference for us. The sustained content-based professional development Ms. Curran has provided to our school district is the most effective and meaningful I have experienced in my 22-year educational career.

10th Age Teacher

Beth Curran believes every teacher has the potential to successfully guide students in finding multiple strategies with practice, support, and consistency. She provides that support by positively validating teacher questions with understanding and humor which is instrumental in helping them to become competent and confident teaching Singapore math in the Dimensions program. While encouraging teachers to embrace uncertainty as stepping stones rather than limitations, Beth is committed to familiarizing them with the purpose for engaging students in discovering problem solving strategies. Her enthusiasm modeling instructional approaches reflects a commitment to the method for student growth. With her ability to hone in on and personally address specific teacher needs while also identifying school expectations, Beth successfully promotes teacher methods to develop student inquiry. I can personally attest to the benefits of her individualized and caring teacher support. She will go to any length to be supportive and encouraging because she knows how important this method of teaching is for preparing children to be effective and active problem solvers. Beth Curran is an exceptional resource because she loves what she does and  she knows why it is important for our  students, our emerging mathematicians.

Classroom III Homeroom Teacher

As Beth does her work as a trainer -- she radiates joy, calm and authentic engagement with her discipline-- even in the midst of a pandemic! The range of instructional tools that Beth introduced: videos, anchor charts, the all-important Singapore Math visual models-- and the way she designed the interplay between our synchronous training on Zoom and the pre-recorded "Here's Beth Teaching videos" was well calibrated. Assignments were really well designed and manageable. I so appreciated the transparent methodology Beth framed our homework with -- this served to invite our learning cohort to see everyone's work -- and I believe this was a key input that authenticated and emphasized the importance of authentic peer to peer collaboration and support as we all launch on the roll-out of Dimensions.
