The Proficiency Project was created by Takia and Dana, a Math Teacher and Assistant Principal, who believe all students can learn, do, and enjoy math.
What We Believe
Students deserve access to standards-aligned, grade-level content. Good instruction should include fact fluency AND automaticity, procedural fluency, and conceptual understanding so all students can thrive in math.
We believe novice learners thrive with explicit instruction.
Effective teaching includes clear modeling of concepts and procedures, guided and independent practice, timely feedback, and multiple opportunities to assess and adjust learning.
In 2024, only 28% of U.S. eighth graders were proficient in math. With the right tools, training, and support, teachers and administrators can close achievement gaps and move all students toward grade-level proficiency.
