“Barbara and her team consistently provided high quality curriculum strategy, content expertise, implementation expertise, joy and humanity to our work. We worked closely with Barbara and her team to design, build, and implement a coherent high school math curriculum across our district. Our district focus around equity in our math classrooms was a focus for Barbara and her team. They provided coaching, strategy support, professional learning, pep talks, human connection, and a full curriculum (from a scope and sequence to lessons and assessments and everything in between). Coherent Math Consulting’s products and services were outstanding and always delivered on time. I would highly recommend Barbara and her team. They are exceptional.”

“Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools contracted Coherent Math to adapt the Illustrative Math curriculum to align with the integrated math standards for NC Math 1, 2, and 3 and our ambitious Secondary Math Vision and Mission around changing the student experience in mathematics. Barbara Beske and her team made what seemed like an impossible undertaking at first, not only possible, but enlightening, worthwhile, and surprisingly smooth. Thanks to the Coherent Math team, we now have a personalized, culturally relevant curriculum grounded in equitable practices. We can not imagine a better final product than what Coherent Math has created for our district. The teacher and student workbooks are both beautiful and practical for daily use and we are already seeing major shifts in instructional practice and student experiences across the district!”
