Welcome to the Kansas MTSS & Alignment Math Repository. This site has been developed with the goal of equipping teachers and instructional leaders with practical resources to provide all students, PreK to Grade 12, with accessible and meaningful mathematical experiences that lead to mastery learning through a multi-tiered lens. Peruse through the site to find evidence-based practices related to improving student achievement through intentional PLC collaboration, effective instructional practices for core, proven intervention strategies, timely assessment and feedback, plus a myriad of resources to facilitate professional development.

IN THE NEWS
Jared Campbell recently built upon sessions from this fall's symposium, and took us deep into the Instructional Hierarchy, a longstanding framework of predictable learning stages that each student goes through when learning a new academic strategy or skill. Campbell provided an overview of the Instructional Hierarchy, clarified how to utilize formative assessment to determine which stage of learning a student is in, and then how to correctly apply evidence-based instructional supports matched to the specific needs of students in each particular stage. Below, find links to two of the three sessions! The final session recording from April 3rd will be linked soon!
Listen to the recording of Jared's previous sessions:
