South Milwaukee Sees Meaningful Gains

After just one full year using Eureka Math, the 750 students who attend South Milwaukee Middle School have something to be proud about.  These students far exceeded expectations in academic performance in math, with two grades almost doubling expected growth. "Our principal is ecstatic. We've not had scores like this before," said Joe Giera, math coordinator for the district. "Teachers love it, how the lessons develop, the rich and deep content, how kids are learning more and can understand the hows and whys of what they are learning," Giera added. "These improvements are a credit to the hard work of students and their teachers," said Lynne Munson, President and Executive Director of Great Minds, the non-profit that created Eureka Math. "We join them in celebrating their success."
PD for Teachers by Teachers
Based on his experiences as a former elementary school teacher, Eureka Math writer Adam Baker says that, "teachers don't want professional development that's vague or entirely theoretical." Adam's behind-the-scenes look at Eureka Math PD in a new blog entitled "Giving Teachers the PD They Need and Want" takes a close look at how Adam and the entire team of Eureka teacher-writers deliver PD nationwide using "a three-step approach to using the curriculum as a resource for understanding mathematics and its instruction more deeply."
