Description
This grant supports elementary and middle school teachers (grades 2–8) in designing, implementing, and disseminating engaging, hands-on interventions to improve the conceptual understanding of mathematics for students with disabilities. Projects are expected to use materials such as manipulatives and to focus on students’ strengths and assets. Recipients will pilot, revise, and share their interventions with colleagues at their school, within their district, and beyond, promoting the spread of effective strategies for supporting learners with disabilities in mathematics.
