Mathematics

One in five teachers in states without restrictions on race- and gender-related topics reported narrowing their instructional choices. And all educators remain divided over carrying guns in school.

Date & Time: Thursday, October 05 at 2 pm ET <br><br> In this 20-minute DA Ed Talk, the Coordinator of Educational Technology from the Birmingham City Schools in Alabama will outline some actionable strategies and insights for leveling the playing field in mathematics education in any school district through engagement, motivation, and support.

The road to recovery remains rocky as the academic growth that most students made in the 2022-23 school year failed to match pre-pandemic norms, according to data on grades 3-8 released Tuesday.

Maryland State Superintendent of Schools Mohammed Choudhury explained in a Zoom call announcing the program that he wanted the focus on secondary math “because mathematics has taken a huge hit. We have single digits, for example, in our middle school proficiency rates.”

There are no "green shoots’" of academic recovery emerging, with the Nation's Report Card showing the largest-ever drop in math scores by 13-year-old students and decreases in reading.

While declines were evident statewide, two of Minnesota's largest public school districts saw scores plummet the furthest last year.
