Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development: Early Childhood Instructional Excellence Read MoreAbstract
This presentation described the successful stories of the Early Math Collaborative at Erikson Institute in Chicago. It addressed three questions related to the the work: What is the scope and purpose of this early mathematics education program? How does the program enhance the mathematical competence of teachers in early childhood education? What are some critical factors that contribute to the success of the program? Specific program components and strategies involved with the intervention were detailed so that practitioners can examine and potentially replicate the work of the Early Math Collaborative.

Loyola University Interdisciplinary Research Symposium for Graduate School Students Read MoreAbstract
High quality education in math for young children builds a strong foundation for future mathematics learning. Evidence is clear that early mathematics achievement is associated with later school success, but the field lacks clear definition of excellence in early mathematics teaching. We are also short of available tools to assist teachers and teacher educators in monitoring or assessing classrooms around mathematics teaching. The purpose of this poster was to introduce High Impact Strategies in Early Mathematics, (HIS-EM), an observational tool designed to identify and measure the frequency of high quality mathematics teaching practices in preschool through third grade and to report its early findings.
