The intent of the Mathematics Achievement Academies, Grades K–3 is to enhance teachers' knowledge and skills so they can effectively teach students in primary elementary grades to achieve mathematical proficiency. The academies will familiarize teachers with research-based effective and systematic instructional practices in mathematics that they can use to help students develop problem-solving skills and a strong foundation of number sense and fluency.
Academies for grade 2 and grade 3 were offered in the summer of 2016. The academy for grades K–1 was offered in the summer of 2017. Contact your education service center (ESC) for information on training opportunities.
