Strong Tier 1 math instruction starts with the right conditions.
Accelerate Math partners with school and district leaders to build the conditions for high-quality math instruction.
When students are falling behind, the solution isn’t always more intervention.
Schools often respond with more planning, more coaching, more intervention, or another program.
Sometimes those supports are necessary.
But when Tier 1 mathematics instruction is not consistently strong, students will continue to need additional support.
Before deciding what to add, leaders need to understand what is getting in the way of high-quality mathematics instruction in the first place.
The Conditions for High-Quality Mathematics Instruction
High-quality mathematics instruction does not depend on one strategy, one program, or one person.
It depends on the conditions surrounding teaching and learning.
The goal is not to improve everything at once. It is to understand what is working, what needs attention, and what to prioritize next.
You don’t have to guess.
The Accelerate Math Pulse Check gives school and district leaders a quick way to reflect on the conditions supporting mathematics instruction.

Adriene Marshall brings more than 30 years of experience in mathematics education as a classroom teacher, mathematics coach, professional learning designer, and instructional leader.
Her work is grounded in a central belief:
Improving mathematics outcomes requires more than adopting the right curriculum. Schools need the conditions that allow high-quality instruction to happen consistently.
Start by finding where to focus.
You don’t have to improve everything at once.
Start by understanding what is strong, what needs attention, and which condition deserves your focus now.
