SVL’s Vision

We believe that a strong math education is the right of every child, and that all aspects of a school or district’s math program must work together to support every child to learn math at high levels.

 

SVL’s Mission

We work with schools and distract – bring together the best of math education research, change theory, and our extensive experiences in K-12+ math education – to design and implement math programs which result in high quality instruction and deep student learning.

Our Model

We strive to form robust and sustained partnerships with each school/district we take on. This allows us to collaborate closely with teachers and administrators, tailoring our approach to the unique context and background of the school or district. As such – because we immerse ourselves in each math program we work on– we are only able to partner with a small handful of districts in a given year, and we often end up collaborating with a school or district across multiple years.

What We Do

Full program reviews 

  • Onsite observations, interviews, and presentations

  • Offsite review of curriculum and intervention resources, written curriculum documents, tiered intervention structures, and supporting data

  • Comprehensive Findings & Recommendations Report upon completion 

Design and support long-term program improvement plans

  • Recommendations for institutional structures to support systematic and ongoing improvement around high quality instruction

  • Support with Curriculum Maps and backwards design of Unit Plans & Assessments, prompting effective implementation of curriculum resources

  • Resources and structures that support the development of Math Coaching at the school or district level

Curriculum resource adoption/implementation 

  • Ongoing Professional Development (ideally with grade-level groups of teachers) that is tailored to a school/district's unique context, and aligned to whatever curriculum resource is being implemented 

  • Research-based Teacher Institutes that build Mathematics Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) through activities that are geared toward adult learners, but are then mapped onto whatever curriculum resources is being used/implemented by the school or district
