National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) Conference: Supporting Math Educators and Students

October 2021

The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics Annual Conference focuses on important issues for leaders in mathematics education. This year's NCSM conference features a virtual component, with session presentations from REL Appalachia staff on mathematics coursetaking pathways and professional learning models to support student success in mathematics. Conference session recordings can be viewed from October 5–December 14 on the NCSM Beyond the Conference platform.

Algebra I and College Preparatory Diploma Outcomes Among Virginia Students: Findings and Discussion

This presentation shares outcomes from a REL Appalachia study of mathematics coursetaking pathways of students who completed Algebra I in grades 7–9 in Virginia, comparing outcomes for students who achieved the same proficiency levels on their state mathematics assessment in grade 5. The session explores how pathways differ for various student populations as well as the implications for policy and practice.
