Sometimes, math is SCARY! 😱 But improving math instruction doesn’t have to be!
If you serve as an instructional leader, administrator, math or instructional coach, teacher leader, district staff, MTSS leader, or anyone supporting teaching and learning, KMIT Training is for you!

We know how to identify the problems: math scores, engagement, behavior, instructional gaps… But then what?

KMIT can help move teams and PLCs from problem admiring ➡️ problem solving by connecting the pieces:
📚 KSA Standards → WHAT students need to learn
📖 HQIRs → Resources that support the learning
🔎 KMIT → A lens for examining and strengthening the INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES that bring it all together

Those practices don't just impact math scores, they influence engagement, discourse, productive struggle, participation, and behavior.

If math is part of your CSIP, CDIP, MTSS work, PLCs, or improvement priorities, come build a common language and practical lens for moving from “We know there’s a problem” to “Here’s what we can do about it.”

You don’t have to be a math expert, you just need the right lens. 👀
