How we address equity
Our services align with the core beliefs of the IM K-12 curriculum, which include that all students can make sense of problems and learn grade level mathematics, as well as all students knowing, using, and enjoying mathematics. We support educators with understanding the overarching design structure of the IM curriculum, which invites all students into new mathematical ideas by letting them connect on prior understandings and experience and play with these ideas before formalizing them. Through the design structures and supports that are provided, we place a focus on supporting teachers with positioning all students as authors of mathematical ideas.

How we build district capacity
We build capacity to support the implementation of IM K-12 Math through a combination of professional learning and embedded classroom coaching. We provide professional learning sessions around implementing the IM curriculum during the initial launch alongside ongoing classroom coaching. These coaching services include modeling lessons for individuals and groups of teachers, co-teaching lessons with both classroom teachers and coaches, and lesson observations focused on collecting lesson data to use for reflective purposes. In addition, we offer consultation services that support schools with better understanding the stance the authors of the curriculum have around various topics.
