Intervention Basics and Math Specifics

In addition to helping you understand MTSS/RtI, you’ll also learn about the importance of growth mindset in math learning, and the role data and formative assessment play in your student’s math success.

Easy-to-Use Tools and Classroom Activities

Take advantage of assets that can be used in the math classroom right now:

• A multi-layered, easy-to-use, excel-style progress monitoring tool.  Designed by a leading educational researcher, this tool helps teachers (easily) gather academic progress monitoring data.  Information can be stored for multiple students across multiple measures, graph student progress, and set individualized goals for a student on specific measures.
