On-demand
Professional learning
Collections by MLC are a flexible way to strengthen Bridges® in Mathematics classroom practice, making professional learning manageable and meaningful.
What are Collections?
Collections are curated sets of on-demand learning modules, each centered on a core area of Bridges classroom practice.
Each module, called an Investigation, explores a specific aspect of the topic with research insights, classroom strategies, and MLC resources. Investigations are typically 45 to 90 minutes and can be completed individually or with colleagues.
How do
Collections work?
Access anytime
Collections are freely available to all Bridges educators on the Educator Site. No separate registration required.
Flexible by design
Choose individual Investigations to meet immediate needs, or sequence several as a team to support a focus area over time.
Applied immediately
Investigations connect to Bridges lessons, routines, and models, with insights and artifacts you can use right away.
“Professional learning is at the heart of MLC. It’s how we began, and it continues to shape everything we do. Collections are the newest way we’re bringing that commitment to you.”
— Mike Wallus, Vice President of Educator Support
