K-2 IMPACT focuses on developing instructional methods which provide all students with skills that will lead to future successes. IMPACT instruction is student-centered and develops the critical foundations in number sense, measurement and problem-solving. IMPACT was developed by a statewide group of mathematics leaders and is managed by the Teaching & Learning Collaborative in partnership with universities, districts, and Educational Service Centers. K-2 IMPACT utilizes a train-the-trainer model to expand and scale the program statewide and nationally. Trained facilitators implement professional development in mathematics for K-2 teachers at the school or district site.

Join the K-2 IMPACT Partnership We are recruiting for ten site teams to join the next IMPACT Cohort. An IMPACT 1 facilitator training will be held in June 2020. IMPACT Programs can be offered at the school sites beginning in Summer 2020 through the 2019-2020 school year. Below you will find additional information about applying as a site team for the K-2 IMPACT partnership.

IMPACT 1: Counting & Cardinality, Number & Operations in Base Ten
IMPACT 2: Algebraic Thinking
Specific content includes:
- Research-based presentation and engagement strategies that encourage inquiry learning
- How to use a balanced approach between teacher and student-centered mathematics instruction
- Experience with rich, problem-solving tasks and applications that develop a deeper understanding of how to differentiate content, process and product when building new mathematical knowledge
- Learning progressions in mathematics
