In the Mathematics Achievement Academy for Kindergarten—Grade 1, participants will:

• examine the kindergarten–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.

Through hands-on activities focusing on number concepts and relationships, whole number operations, and beginning fraction concepts, these academies are designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge of mathematics concepts and processes, improve overall mathematics instruction, and lead to student success on statewide assessments and post-secondary readiness.

**There is a $350 stipend attached to this training. To be eligible for the stipend you must complete all 3 days and understand that if you previously attended, or plan to attend, a math academy for any grade level you are only eligible to receive one stipend in total for mathematics. Campus instructional coaches and/or administrators are ineligible to receive the stipend.**
