This session focuses on practical strategies for implementing learning acceleration. Participants will explore grade-specific major work, learning progressions, and critical understandings to ensure students have access to grade level content. By utilizing tools such as Student Achievement Partners’ Coherence Map, educators will identify key concepts to adjust lesson sequences in support of learning acceleration. This session is ideal for educators seeking to enhance student outcomes through targeted, strategic instruction.

This session focuses on accelerating student learning by quickly identifying their strengths and needs in number sense and prior content knowledge. Participants will explore a number sense screener to gain insights into students’ needs and utilize diagnostic tools, such as content interviews, to reveal students' strengths and prior knowledge. The session will emphasize practical strategies for bridging students’ prior knowledge into current learning in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 instructional settings. Teachers will leave with actionable tools to support learning acceleration in mathematics.

Providing multiple routes for demonstrating mathematical understanding—through varied representations and problem-solving approaches—students can experience an inclusive environment that cater to different needs and assets. This flexibility accelerates learning, allowing all students to express their mathematical competencies meaningfully.

Come and join an immersive professional learning session where you'll experience firsthand the power of open, rich mathematics tasks to engage all students! Through interactive activities and dynamic discussions, you’ll see what deep mathematical thinking looks like, feels like, and sounds like in the classroom. Walk away with practical, inclusive strategies to accelerate learning for your students, fostering collaboration, critical thinking and mathematical discourse.

This session is designed for educators and leaders dedicated to transforming mathematics instruction for multilingual students. As we prepare students for a rapidly changing world, it’s crucial to foster mathematical thinking and reasoning, particularly for those developing both language and math skills. Through innovative teaching practices that promote mathematical discourse, participants will explore strategies and reasoning routines that create supportive environments, empowering students to engage critically with mathematical concepts.
