As the school year winds down and classrooms are being packed away for summer, BCPS secondary math teachers are actively preparing for the coming school year. Teachers participated in a half-day training focused on Mathspace, an interactive math platform that helps personalize instruction and support student learning.

"One of the things I value most about Mathspace is that it combines curriculum, assignments, and student data in one place. Having resources that are specifically aligned to Virginia standards, along with easy access to student progress data, will help me and other teachers respond more effectively to student needs," said one participant.

We appreciate the dedication of our educators, who continue preparing for student success!
