Participants will examine the Kindergarten and Grade 1 TEKS based on learning progressions and critical checkpoints for student understanding; experience classroom-ready activities, including formative assessment and follow-up activities that account for learner variability; build a toolkit of strategies and key questions through analysis of activities for students with disabilities, English language learners, students struggling to learn mathematics, and gifted learners; and explore structures that provide opportunities for meaningful practice and feedback.

Participants are required to attend all three days of the Academy, with the same teacher attending each session. Please note that stipends are not available for this Math Academy. Participants must attend the Academy for the grade level they are teaching during the 2024-2025 school year. Instructional Coaches and Administrators are also welcome to participate.
