Purpose

The pandemic and the unplanned shift to remote learning widened the opportunity gap for many students across the state. This program will support Eastern Idaho math educators with learning opportunities and classroom coaching as they work to accelerate student math learning.

Who is this for?

All Eastern Idaho teachers and administrators interested in supporting math students

• Individual Teachers
• Teams (grade levels/departments/schools) **Strongly encouraged

What will you learn?

Teachers will learn evidence-based practices to accelerate math learning in order to help students recover from the loss due to the pandemic. "Just in time" scaffolds allow students to move forward with grade-level content while bridging the gap of unfinished learning.

Administrators will discuss the system-level supports and pedagogy that will accelerate math achievement in their buildings.
