Natasha E. Gerstenschlager, PhD, is an efficacy research manager for Imagine Learning, where she studies the impact of educational products on student outcomes. Formerly, she taught mathematics courses in Kentucky and led professional development sessions on innovative, research-based teaching practices.

Nicole M. Wessman-Enzinger, PhD, is an associate professor of education at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. Her primary role at the university is to prepare future K–12 teachers to teach mathematics, but her favorite aspect of this work is helping these future teachers redefine their relationships with mathematics.

In this session, we will explore how teams develop effective mathematics instruction using 6 elements of lesson design. The process of designing engaging, targeted, and high quality instruction allows teams to dig deeply into both best practices in mathematics and grow in content knowledge. Participants will leave with a set of tools and discussion protocols to enhance their instructional planning and teaching of mathematics.
