September 28, 2017

Time: 2:00- 3:00 p.m.

Location: Virtual

Description: The strategies communicated in this webinar will help those who provide math intervention to understand evidence-based strategies for effectiveness. Access to course pathways and STEM careers is often dependent on students’ success in Algebra I (Snipes & Finklestein, 2015). Starting as early as kindergarten, 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 success in algebra (National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008). This webinar will present research-based approaches to assisting students who are struggling in math, focusing on recommendations from an Institute of Education Sciences (IES) practice guide (Gersten et al., 2009), with specific examples of instructional strategies related to those recommendations (Dougherty, Bryant, Bryant, Darrough, & Pfannenstiel, 2015).

Audience: This webinar will be for a national audience that includes school district personnel, teacher coaches, administrators, and teachers in elementary and middle schools who want to improve mathematics instruction for struggling students. Other interested parties may include state education agency (SEA) staff. The audience will be recruited through website announcements and emails to the REL Central’s email list. Invitations will also be emailed to district mathematics coordinators, leaders of state mathematics teacher professional organizations, and university personnel assigned to mathematics programs, as suggested by SEA contacts.
