Abstract:The research is clear: Math achievement drives success in academics and life. Yet, even as students' math outcomes stagnate--or decline--most states haven't adopted bold, comprehensive strategies to turn the tide. When states prioritize policies that support teacher effectiveness, they build the foundation for lasting gains in student math achievement. The report discusses five policy levers to strengthen math instruction: (1) Set specific, detailed math standards for teacher preparation programs; (2) Review teacher preparation programs to ensure they are providing robust math instruction; (3) Adopt a strong elementary math licensure test and require all elementary candidates to pass it; (4) Require districts to select high-quality math curricula and support skillful implementation; and (5) Provide professional learning and ongoing support for teachers to sustain effective math instruction.
