Build relevant, low-threshold/high-ceiling materials that empower every student to see themselves as a mathematician.

What Curriculum Design Looks Like

Creating New Courses

Whether it's a new data science elective, a capstone project, or a non-traditional course, we can collaborate to build a complete curriculum from the ground up, including scope, sequence, and all major assessments.

Building or Expanding Interdisciplinary Projects

Breaking down silos between departments is key to engagement. I can help you and your colleagues design and implement rich projects that connect mathematics to art, science, history, and social justice.

Implementing Project-Based-Learning (PBL)

Moving from traditional instruction to a PBL model can be challenging. I specialize in helping teachers and departments create low-floor/high-ceiling projects that are authentic, engaging, and cover core content standards.

About Me

Hi, I'm Avery Pickford.

   

        My specialization is in creating project-based, low-floor/high-ceiling curriculum. I design materials that highlight the power and wonder of mathematics while helping students see themselves as doers of mathematics. Whether it's for a single lesson, a full unit, or a brand new course, I can help you build it.
