SUMMARY:Assisting Struggling Students with Mathematics: What Works for Tier
 ed Interventions in Elementary and Middle Schools
DESCRIPTION:Time: 2:00- 3:00 p.m. Location: Virtual Description: The strate
 gies communicated in this webinar will help those who provide math interve
 ntion to understand evidence-based strategies for effectiveness. Access to
  course pathways and STEM careers is often dependent on students' success 
 in Algebra I (Snipes &amp\; Finklestein\, 2015). Starting as early as kind
 ergarten\, math instruction should focus on concepts and skills that will 
 prepare students for success in algebra\, with a particular focus on whole
  numbers and rational numbers in grades 4-8 (National Mathematics Advisory
  Panel\, 2008). In addition to focused instruction\, students need access 
 to interventions to address mathematics difficulties that could prevent su
 ccess in algebra (National Mathematics Advisory Panel\, 2008). This webina
 r will present research-based approaches to assisting students who are str
 uggling in math\, focusing on recommendations from an Institute of Educati
 on Sciences (IES) practice guide (Gersten et al.\, 2009)\, with specific e
 xamples of instructional strategies related to those recommendations (Doug
 herty\, Bryant\, Bryant\, Darrough\, &amp\; Pfannenstiel\, 2015). Audience
 : This webinar will be for a national audience that includes school distri
 ct personnel\, teacher coaches\, administrators\, and teachers in elementa
 ry and middle schools who want to improve mathematics instruction for stru
 ggling students. Other interested parties may include state education agen
 cy (SEA) staff. The audience will be recruited through website announcemen
 ts and emails to the REL Central's email list. Invitations will also be em
 ailed to district mathematics coordinators\, leaders of state mathematics 
 teacher professional organizations\, and university personnel assigned to 
 mathematics programs\, as suggested by SEA contacts. Speakers: Russell Ger
