Resources to Support
BRidging for Math Strength
This exciting project partnership with George Mason University and the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is to offer strength-based formative assessment and bridging activities to support instruction for K-8 students. We wanted to tap into the geniuses in our school districts in Virginia and invited these amazing teacher designers to codesign these modules. They spent their summer designing these bridging activities and refined the modules by piloting them in their classrooms. We have strength in numbers as teacher designers supporting strength-based instruction for our students!
