Debby Head and Libby Pollett are true leaders in the field of education. It was those very experiences that led them to work with the Math Learning Center in Portland, Oregon in the development of a mathematics curriculum for grades 3 and 4 entitled Opening Eyes to Mathematics. Consulting and working with teachers on the implementation of Opening Eyes, Box It or Bag It, Math and the Mind's Eye, and Visual Mathematics has taken them to 43 of the 50 states.

Summers are usually devoted to helping teachers improve their own mathematics content and conducting professional development workshops.
