"Foundations of Math for Leaders is a preview and partnership opportunity focused on improving math outcomes for all students. Too often, math initiatives lead to inconsistent instruction, overwhelmed educators, and continued struggles for students, especially those with disabilities.

This session supports educational leaders in exploring why learners struggle with math, how strengthening teachers’ content knowledge improves instruction, and what system supports are needed for successful implementation. Participants will explore how the Foundations of Math (FoM) professional learning experience helps build coherent, meaningful math instruction for all learners.
