Culturally Responsive Learning

The PreK-5 Mathematics Program is the first curriculum to authentically intertwine cultural characteristics, experiences, and perspectives into a core mathematics curriculum offering. This approach fosters a deeper connection between students and the material, ensuring a more inclusive learning experience.

Innovative Professional Learning

The curriculum includes embedded teacher supports, equipping educators with the background knowledge and resources to effectively implement the curriculum. Teacher reflection questions promote collaboration and growth within Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and among peers.
