Algebra I is a critical gateway to advanced mathematics and future academic success, yet systemic barriers continue to limit access and opportunity for many students, particularly those from historically underserved communities. Listen to this illuminating discussion with leaders from three of the nation’s largest school districts who are pioneering innovative approaches to ensure all students can thrive in Algebra I.

Drawing from a new case study examining successful district initiatives, this edWeb podcast brings together academic officers from Chicago Public Schools, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Miami-Dade County Public Schools who discuss how districts can transform Algebra I from a gatekeeper into a gateway of opportunity. Don’t miss this chance to hear directly from district leaders about concrete strategies for:

• Creating multiple on-ramps to algebra success
• Building teacher content knowledge and instructional expertise
• Expanding early access programs and acceleration pathways
• Fostering positive math identity and student belonging
• Using data to inform and improve algebra readiness efforts

Listen to this edWeb podcast about making Algebra I success achievable for all students. This edWeb podcast is of interest to middle and high school district leaders.
