Continuous Improvement of High Quality
K-5 Math Instruction
Why is growing effective instruction in mathematics critical?
Why is growing effective instruction in mathematics critical?
Early childhood and elementary mathematics is now framed by the progress of mathematics learning standards, placing stronger focus on problem solving... Despite the progress in mathematics education, an implementation gap persists between the calls for change and the comprehensive actions needed to ensure that high levels of mathematics learning becomes a reality in the lives of each and every child.

What is high quality math instruction?
"An effective mathematics program requires effective teaching that engages students in meaningful learning through individual and collaborative experiences that promote their ability to make sense of mathematical ideas and reason abstractly." ~From NCTM Principles to Actions, 2014, p. 7
