Math+Language=Success: A Cross-Departmental Approach to Mathematics
Academic language is a key determinant of success in mathematics. It is also a key factor in COVID unfinished learning as well as learning recovery. Embedding academic language in the math classroom not only strengthens teaching practices, but it also reduces the achievement gap by supporting marginalized learners with learning scaffolds and by making connections to real-world knowledge. It accelerates math concept learning and improves reasoning & communication. This session shares a strategic framework for taking action at a district-wide level. It examines how to build durable cross-departmental partnerships; ways to braid funding across Title I, Title III, ESSER, and C&I; and how to deliver consistent fidelity of implementation. It explores real examples of how research-based academic language strategies were embedded into middle school classrooms across PGCPS. Participants will exit the session with a blueprint for implementing a math+language strategy in their own districts.
