Report Profiles High Schools With Effective Math InstructionA new
report finds that access to high-level math classes and knowledgeable,
effective teachers is crucial to preparing high school students for
college and beyond. Researchers found that successful schools shared
three things in common in regard to their ability to provide effective
math programs: offering high-level math courses and support for all
students; providing intensive professional development for teachers to
improve their subject knowledge and teaching skills; and using student
progress and evaluations to help teachers tailor their lessons.WestEd.
