A grade level representative from each grade K-5 have been taking part in Math Advantage Professional Development. There are eight in-person sessions led by a Math Advantage representative over the course of a few months. These training sessions focus on the conceptual understanding of the foundational skills in math (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication). The sessions offered staff research-based diagnostic assessments, learning progressions and high quality instructional tools. As a district, we are working to expand and deepen our knowledge and understanding of the mathematical development for all students. #RepthatA
