A pair of Bethlehem Elementary School teachers have earned Math4Life grants that will greatly benefit their students!!!
Congratulations to Genevieve Fields and Shannon Tamburin who each earned $1,000 Math4Life grants. Bethlehem Principal Drew Villani commended his teachers for their dedicated work in their classrooms, and he congratulated them on earning the grants which will provide instructional resources in classrooms to engage students in the area of mathematics.
West Virginia’s math4Life initiative is a statewide effort to improve student mathematics performance. The WVDE seeks to work with counties and schools throughout the state to institute best practices, challenging pedagogy, and student engagement strategies to improve students’ mathematics achievement. The math4life statewide plan is designed around a statewide leadership team that works collaboratively to create a system of mathematical improvement from the state level to the district level to the school level and, ultimately, to the student level.
The counties leverage the West Virginia College-and Career-Readiness Standards for Mathematics to select their instructional materials and to implement math programs, technology supports, and community engagement practices to market their local math4life initiatives.
