In January, we announced our core middle school math program, which pairs the open-source middle school curriculum from OpenUp Resources/Illustrative Mathematics with powerful technology, humanizing pedagogy, and intuitive design from Desmos.
We were extremely grateful to receive interest from thousands of sites and teachers. In order to provide the best possible support for as many partners as possible, we’ve decided to limit participation this year to a small set of applicants.
We looked for partners who had:
- Communities of teachers—people who love supporting one another and learning together.
- A dedicated teacher-supporter at the district level who understands our vision for connected and creative mathematics.
- A record of perseverance and problem-solving, both of which are necessary in a best-case school year, and especially necessary in this time of school closure.
- Demographic diversity, particularly with respect to student race and gender so we can understand how to include and support students who have historically been excluded and undersupported.
We are excited to announce our partners for the upcoming school year.*
