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.  Ashley is joined by  Senate Education Chair Andrew Brenner  to discuss what’s driving this push, how the proposal is designed to work in practice and what it could mean for classrooms, families and long-term workforce readiness. The conversation explores key elements of the policy, including screening and intervention, instructional quality 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 a timely look at how to build a coordinated strategy to improve math outcomes and better prepare students for future success.  Remember to join the conversation on social media.    ExcelinEd in Action (@ExcelinAction) / X (twitter.com)     ExcelinEd in Action (@excelinedinaction) • Instagram      ExcelinEd in Action (@excelinedinaction) • BlueSky     ExcelinEd in Action on  Facebook   Hosted on Acast.
