From Adoption to Impact: Leading Equitable Implementation of High-Quality Math Instructional Materials in LAUSD
California’s first statewide math adoption in a decade presents a rare opportunity to revolutionize how students learn math in our classrooms and across the State.
In “From Adoption to Impact: Leading Equitable Implementation of High-Quality Math Instructional Materials in LAUSD”, we examine how school and district leaders can move beyond simply selecting new materials and take actionable steps to transform student outcomes.
Our publication is grounded in the work of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and our experience supporting math implementation across 66 schools. It reflects what teaching backed by the Partnership looks like in action, with aligned systems, strong instructional materials, and sustained support for educators and students.
Explore our publication! Find out:
- Why this moment matters: A once-in-a-decade opportunity to redesign math experiences, especially for Black students, multilingual learners, and students with disabilities.
- What HQIM looks like in practice: Classrooms centered on student thinking and problem solving, supported by aligned leadership, coaching, and professional learning.
- How adoption leads to impact: A student-centered process for selecting materials, with clear criteria that advance conceptual understanding and language development.
- Why implementation is the equity work: Materials alone are not enough. Coaching, collaboration, and aligned systems drive lasting change.
- The evidence of impact: Math proficiency in Partnership-supported schools has nearly doubled over the last decade, with strong gains for priority student groups when HQIM is implemented with intention.
- Recommendations: Concrete guidance for state leaders, districts, schools, and publishers to fund, structure, and sustain equity-centered implementation.
We invite you to read our full report and consider how this moment can accelerate equitable math outcomes for every student.
