Math Reflections with Dr. Elliott (March 2021)

March 24, 2021/in Blog /by Emily Triplett

Have you ever found an unexpected treasure? Well, I did this week when I went to pull the IES Practice Guide for Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics.

I routinely refer back to that document for inspiration and corroboration around best practices, so I was thrilled to see the date was no longer April 2009 but rather March 2021! Where did this come from? Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I am thoroughly enjoying digesting it and wonder if I missed a big announcement. 

Regardless, what I am especially happy about is the focus on small group intervention and the deep discussion on six of the evidence-based practices that have shown strong evidence. Needless to say those practices are present in the materials that comprise TouchMath.

They are:

  • Systematic instruction
  • Mathematical language
  • Representations (our famous use of CRA and TouchPoints)
  • Number lines
  • Word problems
  • Timed activities

If you too missed the announcement that it is out here is the link to the new March 2021 IES WWC Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics:Intervention in the Elementary Grades.

I will let you in on a little secret. One of the reasons I am excited to see this new Guide is that TouchMath will be launching a major efficacy study in partnership with a major independent research group in the next weeks. Look for a special invitation to join us in the coming weeks.

And on a closing note, the team at TouchMath has just finished revamping the much asked for Implementation Checklist and I’ll be sending that out to everyone. It will be extremely useful as we move back to in person classes and we work to implement the curriculum with fidelity.

What unexpected treasures did you find this month? What are you looking forward to as we turn towards Spring? Send me an email ([email protected]). I’m always happy to connect.

Until April,

Dr. E

Sean LockwoodColorado Springs, CO – March 15, 2021 – TouchMath, a leading provider of multisensory resources and curriculum that help students build a strong foundation in math, today announced the expansion of their senior leadership team, adding Sean Lockwood as their new Chief Executive Officer. This addition will enable TouchMath to expand on their reputation as a critical partner of schools and districts across the country.

Sean has over 20 years of professional experience in leadership, sales management, strategic marketing, and business development in the publishing, curriculum and education industry. Before joining TouchMath, Sean was Senior Vice President and General Manager of Junior Library Guild, a provider of curation services to K-12 school and public libraries throughout North America. Prior to that role, Sean was the Vice President of Sales for World Book, Inc., a provider of non-fiction reference products to schools, libraries, and consumers, as well as a Director of New Business Development at Time, Inc., a global media company, where he focused on developing and growing the QSP school and student fundraising platform.

“TouchMath has an outstanding history of serving districts, schools, educators, and most importantly, students with efficacious math resources and services,” said Sean. “I’m thrilled to join this passionate team and help continue their legacy of accelerating math learning outcomes.”

Over the last two years, TouchMath has focused on updating its award-winning multisensory program to accommodate for distance and hybrid learning. In 2020, they announced the formation of TouchMath University, a new way of giving educators and administrators customized professional learning to support using TouchMath. The company recently launched the first iteration of TouchMath PRO, a digital platform designed to help educators easily personalize intervention and remediation.

Sean has extensive experience with developing digital solutions for education environments.
