The
Mathematics Improvement Initiative (MI2) professional development program is specialized to help schools and districts improve instruction and achievement within mathematics. Within the overall
Mathematics Improvement Initiative (MI2) comprehensive program we have developed three targeted offerings to address the need for supporting in-depth content math fidelity and pedagogical fidelity. As well as the special needs of students with limited English proficiency.
Advanced Concept Development Sessions (ACD): “To be effective, teachers must know and understand deeply the mathematics they are teaching and be able to draw on that knowledge with flexibility in their teaching tasks. – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics NCTM”
Program Quality Inventory for Mathematics (PQI): The PQI is a data-driven approach to assist teachers, schools, and districts improve their mathematics instructional program, and as a result, student achievement in mathematics. This program improvement system is also utilized to provide coaching and professional growth opportunity goals are determined.
Transcending the Language Barrier of Mathematics: As the number of English Language Learners (ELL) increases in schools across the country, more and more teachers find themselves in need of instructional strategies for supporting English Language Learners (ELL) in their mathematics classroom. This program has been developed specifically as a professional learning opportunity that brings those strategies to where they have the greatest impact, the classroom.
