## Resource

In this episode of Statehouse Spotlights, host Ashley Mullins heads to Ohio to explore a growing priority across states:&nbsp; strengthening math outcomes for students . As more lawmakers turn their attention to math, Ohio is advancing a comprehensive policy approach designed to support students at every level, from those who need early intervention to those ready for advanced coursework.&nbsp; Ashley is joined by&nbsp; Senate Education Chair Andrew Brenner&nbsp; to discuss&nbsp;what’s&nbsp;driving this push, how the proposal is designed to work in practice and what it could mean for classrooms,&nbsp;families&nbsp;and long-term workforce readiness. The conversation explores key elements of the policy, including screening and intervention, instructional&nbsp;quality&nbsp;and access to rigorous coursework, while also unpacking what it takes to move a major academic reform forward during an active legislative session. As other states consider similar efforts, Ohio’s approach offers&nbsp;a timely&nbsp;look at how to build a coordinated strategy to improve math outcomes and better prepare students for future success.&nbsp; Remember to join the conversation on social media.&nbsp; &nbsp; ExcelinEd in Action (@ExcelinAction) / X (twitter.com) &nbsp; &nbsp; ExcelinEd in Action (@excelinedinaction) • Instagram&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ExcelinEd in Action (@excelinedinaction) • BlueSky &nbsp; &nbsp; ExcelinEd&nbsp;in Action on&nbsp; Facebook &nbsp; Hosted on Acast.
