Kim Sutton Associates
After 20+ years of Kim Sutton traveling around the country working with thousands of teachers, we realized Kim is not getting to all of the states we would like, to effectively share her amazing material and ability to teach math content in a fun and exciting way.
To achieve this goal, we have trained a select number of teachers to be available in those states we don't reach as often as we'd like. These teachers use and feel passionately about Kim's material and teaching style and can help provide the exposure and support needed for the teachers Kim cannot reach herself.
These consultants speak at local conferences, work with local schools and districts and offer after-school and weekend classes. Stay up to date with our online calendar.

We are pleased to have the following educators join our team:
Julie Kubiak
Julie Kubiak, a veteran teacher of twenty-five years, is an experienced mathematics trainer who has presented numerous math workshops at the district, state, and national levels. She has 16 years of classroom experience at the elementary level, 10 years of experience teaching at the university level, and has worked for the past eleven years as a district math curriculum specialist for kindergarten through sixth grades. Julie's passion lies in helping teachers learn to love and feel more comfortable with math so they can share that love with their students. She believes that all students can learn mathematics through a fun and engaging classroom environment. Upon meeting Kim in 2002, she became an staunch advocate of Kim Sutton's philosophy about mathematics instruction. Through the use of Kim's ideas and mathematical routines she demonstrates how to engage students in meaningful tasks that develop conceptual understanding that leads to in-depth understanding of concepts and reasoning skills. Feeling bored, stagnant, or stifled with your math instruction? Julie will help you rediscover a passion for numeracy that will propel your students on a life-long journey of learning in mathematics.

Linda Wallace
Linda Wallace is a veteran of thirty-six years in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to high school. She just completed her eighth year as a math instructional coach working in both elementary and middle schools. Having met Kim at a workshop some seven years ago, she immediately hooked-up with her philosophy of engaging students in routines that embed conceptual understanding as well as fluency. Linda has trained teachers in her district, region and state in elementary and middle school math practices. She also works within her district to model teach in classrooms and uses many routines and ideas from Kim's training to show teachers how they can engage students in meaningful tasks developing strong reasoning skills. With an in-depth understanding of CCSSM, Linda uses Kim's materials to help students master concepts at this new level of rigor demanded by CC. Looking for answers to the challenges of Common Core? Linda will help you and your teachers make that transition in a way that allows math to come alive in your classrooms.
