Transforming Math Education through Equity and Excellence
​
Company Overview
Seda Educational Consulting, LLC was founded by Dr. Pamela Seda, co-author of Choosing to See: A Framework for Equity in the Math Classroom.
​
Our Mission
Our mission is to help leaders support teachers in meeting the needs of marginalized math learners, so students are empowered to do the hard work of learning.
Our Vision
To accomplish our mission, we envision that:
​
-
All teachers and administrators are regularly engaging in job-embedded professional learning, where they experience the types of math learning environments they are expected to create for their students,
-
All students, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, are experiencing significant growth in mathematics achievement by engaging in high quality mathematics learning experiences daily,
-
All teachers are implementing culturally relevant instructional practices that affirm the mathematics identities of their students,
-
Neighborhoods and communities are actively engaged in and supportive of the development of their children as mathematical thinkers and problem solvers.
​
Our Values
​
We believe:
​
-
The goal of mathematics education is to help all students make sense of the world and develop as critical thinkers and problem solvers.
-
Mathematical brilliance comes in all races, ethnicities, genders, and economic backgrounds.
-
In the efficacy of community as illustrated by the African proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”

Our Workshops
​
We offer the following session titles:
​
Leadership Development Workshops
Leading the Way: Crafting a Shared Vision for Equitable Math Instruction
Principals and school leaders play a pivotal role in setting the tone for equitable mathematics instruction. This workshop empowers leaders to collaboratively define what high-quality math instruction looks like, focusing on grade-level big ideas, student proficiency, and culturally relevant practices. Participants will develop actionable strategies to build alignment among teachers, students, and families to create classrooms where every learner thrives.​
​
Empowering Teachers Through Job-Embedded Professional Learning Experiences
This workshop empowers principals and school leaders to design and lead professional learning experiences that reflect the engaging, equitable environments teachers should cultivate for their students. Participants will gain practical strategies for organizing PLCs where teachers collaborate on meaningful math tasks, analyze student work, and plan lessons centered on grade-level big ideas, culturally relevant practices, and effective questioning techniques to deepen student sense-making.
​
From Observation to Action: Leading Effective Learning Walks to Drive Math Equity
This workshop introduces principals and school leaders to the process of conducting learning walks that prioritize equitable math instruction. Participants will learn how to use the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the ICUCARE® Equity Framework to provide timely feedback, facilitate coaching sessions, and collaboratively plan next steps for teacher and student success.
​
Measuring What Matters: Turning Vision into Action
This workshop equips school leaders with practical tools to bridge the gap between their vision for high-quality, equitable math instruction and the realities of classroom practice by using metrics aligned with their shared goals. Leaders will learn to analyze student proficiency data and classroom observation results to provide targeted feedback and support teachers in refining their instructional strategies for greater impact. This session emphasizes creating adaptive systems that respond to the evolving needs of teachers and students.
​
Job Embedded Professional Learning for Teachers
​
From Overwhelmed to Focused: Teaching Big Math Ideas That Stick
Too many math standards can dilute instruction, leaving students with a shallow understanding of critical concepts. By focusing on key math concepts, rather than an overwhelming list of standards, teachers can help students build a robust foundation for future learning. This workshop equips educators with tools to identify grade-level big ideas, assess proficiency through student work, and address misconceptions. Discover how this approach not only strengthens understanding but also empowers students to apply their knowledge to new situations, building confidence and fostering long-term success.
​
Equity in Action: Transforming Math Classrooms with ICUCARE®
Every day, students silently struggle in math classrooms, believing they’re destined to fail.This workshop provides actionable strategies to end the suffering caused by inequitable instruction. Guided by the ICUCARE® Equity Framework, participants will learn how to deliver rigorous, culturally relevant lessons that engage all students and foster mathematical confidence.
​
Peer Power: Using Learning Walks to Elevate Math Instruction
What if teachers could support one another in transforming math classrooms? This session introduces the learning walk process, a collaborative approach to observing and improving student engagement with the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Learn how to plan lessons with colleagues, conduct peer observations using ICUCARE principles, and analyze trends to drive improvement. Participants will leave with practical strategies to build trust, foster professional growth, and ensure students are actively engaged in rigorous and equitable math instruction.
