Strong Tier 1 math instruction starts with the right conditions.
Accelerate Math partners with school and district leaders to build the conditions for high-quality Tier 1 math instruction.
When students are falling behind, the solution isn’t always more intervention.
Schools often respond with more planning, more coaching, more intervention, or another program.
Sometimes those supports are necessary.
But when Tier 1 mathematics instruction is not consistently strong, students will continue to need additional support.
Before deciding what to add, leaders need to understand what is getting in the way of high-quality mathematics instruction in the first place.
The Framework
High-quality Tier 1 mathematics instruction does not depend on one strategy, one program, or one person. It depends on the conditions surrounding teaching and learning.
The goal is not to improve everything at once. It is to understand what is working, what needs attention, and what to prioritize next.
Where should your school focus first?
You don’t have to guess.
The Conditions Pulse Check gives school and district leaders a quick way to reflect on the conditions supporting mathematics instruction.
