The National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform is proud to announce a new Toolkit devoted to improving mathematics instruction in the middle grades. The Mathematics Improvement Toolkit provides a variety of professional development opportunities for middle grades mathematics educators serving diverse student populations. From workshops, to teacher guides and online resources, the tools provide a strong foundation on which to build stronger mathematics instruction for adolescent learners.

The tools include universal design curriculum modules, moderated online professional development, and
