| Abstract: | Access to qualified math teachers for all students is a foundational element of student achievement and instructional opportunity. As concerns about students' math performance persist, it is increasingly important to understand the current landscape of access to qualified math educators. This issue brief outlines three necessary but not sufficient conditions for ensuring such access: teacher availability, instructional expertise, and the use of high-quality instructional materials. These conditions serve as the lens through which we examine current challenges and available strategies to strengthen the math teacher workforce, deepen instructional capacity, and ensure the availability of coherent, standards-aligned math curricula. |
