Impact Story: Instructional Coaching for Tech-Enhanced Approaches to Mathematics (Institute of Education Sciences)

Key Outcome

Digital Promise researchers created evidence-based, math-specific resources to help coaches and teachers deliver high-quality mathematics instruction.

Partnering with Coaches and Middle School Math Teachers

When students have access to high-quality mathematics instruction (HQMI), they can develop a deeper understanding of math—leading to better math outcomes.

To help teachers implement HQMI, math education researchers at Digital Promise partnered with coaches and middle school math teachers to co-design, implement, and evaluate an instructional coaching program. The program helps practitioners promote conceptual understanding and conduct formative assessment with technology to support learners in their math classrooms, including those testing behind in grade level math.

Through this five-year process, the project team:

  • Conducted iterative cycles of continuous improvement, data collection, analysis, and program refinement, including testing in real classrooms
  • Designed a collection of free practitioner-facing math resources offering research syntheses, implementation advice, and guidance on integrating technology

Practitioner-Informed, Research-Based Tools for High Quality Math Instruction

The resulting resources equip math teachers, coaches, and educational leaders with practitioner-informed, research-based tools for implementing HQMI with technology. With these tools, educators can help all learners—including those who may be testing behind in grade-level math—have access to high-quality instruction.
