It is our goal in the Diocese of Charleston to ensure deeper understanding and critical thinking in all subjects for all students. These universal strategies are meant to increase engagement and support growth for all students, especially when struggling to master a concept. This is not an exhaustive list of strategies, but these supports will help teachers make math instruction more accessible for all students. Teachers should adapt strategies to the needs of students and ensure that they are creating opportunities to engage with rigorous content. The items in italic could be considered accommodations, depending on the Curriculum and the local school level team. All others should NOT be considered accommodations or modifications, but rather Best Instructional Practices in Mathematics.
