How can administrators provide teachers with the tools they need to meet varying students’ needs in mathematics? In this edWebinar, you’ll learn more about the science-driven approach that supports learning at grade level, as opposed to providing below-grade-level practice like many interventions. We’ll dive into the power of the prefrontal cortex in developing a deep, conceptual understanding of mathematics and reveal data on the impact of providing equitable opportunities for on-grade-level learning and growth.

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-8 math leaders and coaches, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
