Mike Henderson

Mike Henderson is passionate about creating professional learning environments and resources that support teachers in learning more about math content and pedagogy, especially as it relates to focusing on the ideas and experiences of their students. He is interested in researching ways to leverage high-quality instructional materials to support collaborative partnerships within and across school systems, non- and for-profit institutions, and public universities that deepen content understanding and disrupt systemic inequities. Mike is an experienced teacher, instructional coach, and curriculum developer and has supported teachers, coaches, principals, and superintendents across the country in their work toward creating math classrooms that meet the demands of College and Career Readiness standards and that support the learning of all students. Mike is a National Board Certified Teacher and holds a BA in psychology and biological basis of behavior from the University of Pennsylvania and an MA in curriculum and instruction from Arizona State University. He is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Michigan, where he is studying ways to improve the design of instructional materials to better support teaching and learning for traditionally marginalized students.
