To support the implementation of Math Matters, a comprehensive teacher professional development model designed to improve mathematics instruction in grades 6-8, in four additional schools. The Math Matters program enhances math instruction in schools through learning acceleration, which has been proven to be more effective than remediation when addressing unfinished learning. Their Coaches partner with educators to ensure that they have the support they need to provide their students with rigorous, grade-level instruction, catching them up to pre-pandemic learning levels and beyond. Ultimately, their Math Matters program puts students back on track in elementary and middle-school mathematics, so that the City’s most vulnerable students will be ready for high school and beyond. Teaching Matters works to increase teacher effectiveness, one of the most critical factors regarding student success, by transforming how educators work together at urban public schools, helping the most effective teachers to develop the necessary skills by which to then lead their peers and drive school-wide improvement.
