Math
Why this matters
Imagine a future where students never say “I’m not a math person.” Math can spark confidence, creativity, and opportunity for everyone – but only if we teach in ways that include everyone. With continuous improvement, we can shift math instruction to support growth and success for all students.
Every student can thrive in math – as long as they feel supported and connected to their learning. But traditional instruction wasn’t designed to promote success for all young people, especially those furthest from opportunity. Instead, our current systems make math a gatekeeper – encouraging only some students to engage deeply, embrace challenges, and pursue opportunities in math.
So many of us across the country are shifting teaching practice and classroom culture to transform the way students learn math. Continuous improvement gives us a way to reimagine and redesign math instruction – so all students can grow their skills and believe in their brilliance.
As collaborative improvers, we can create ways to cultivate success and a positive math identity for every student. We can build and scale student-centered ideas for catalyzing curiosity, engagement, and understanding.
Join in as we learn our way into a new kind of math education – one that opens doors for every student.
California District Math Curriculum and Instruction Network
The goal of the network is to support district and school teams to unpack the new California Math Framework, develop a vision for math teaching and learning, and get systems in place for curriculum adoption and curriculum based professional learning to support long-term math instructional improvement and increased student learning.

Over and over, folks in our networks, particularly classroom teachers, have come to us and said, Thank you. You don’t think we’re broken. You think we are the solution.

Looking at focus students, being able to identify trends and be able to apply very clear, specific change ideas is what I believe our school and teacher community needed to continue to grow.
