Strengthening Math Intervention in Grades K-3 (Day 1: Effective Math Intervention | Day 2: Using Our Tool & Framework) – 6/3/2026

Across Ohio, persistent gaps in early numeracy signal the need for more than isolated strategies, and they demand a coherent, research-informed system of intervention. This two-day professional learning experience is designed to equip district professionals with the knowledge and tools to implement effective K–3 math intervention practices and to confidently apply the Comprehensive Math Intervention Framework (CMIF), ensuring consistent, high-impact support for every student.

Day 1 focuses on best practices in math intervention within an iMTSS model. Participants will examine how mathematics fits within iMTSS, experience examples of strong core and intervention instruction, and develop a shared understanding of what effective Tier 2 and Tier 3 math support looks like. Through guided analysis and discussion, educators will identify evidence-based instructional practices and intervention strategies that address common learning gaps in early mathematics.

Day 2 introduces our Comprehensive Math Intervention Framework in depth. Participants will learn the purpose, structure, and standards alignment of CMIF and how it supports systematic intervention decision-making. Educators will explore how to use common screeners to identify which students need additional support and to determine appropriate entry points for diagnostic assessment. The day emphasizes practical application: administering and interpreting diagnostic and progress-monitoring tools, using data to inform instruction, and implementing targeted intervention activities in small-group or one-on-one settings through a user-friendly platform. Participants will receive access to use the tool for the 2026-2027 school year.

This session is intentionally designed for classroom teachers, intervention specialists, instructional coaches, and administrators responsible for Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports. Participants will leave with concrete tools, shared language, and a clear process for delivering timely, data-driven math interventions, ensuring more students are on track for success before third grade. All participants receive full access to the CMIF framework and resources.

There will be an option to earn 1 Semester Hour through Ashland University for an additional Fee.
