Robin Codding, associate professor in the school psychology program in the Department of Educational Psychology, is presenting on “Establishing a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) for Mathematics” at the Ohio School Psychologists Association (OSPA) conference on November 11 in Columbus, Ohio.

U.S. students continue to underperform in mathematics compared to their international peers, and overall U.S. mathematics proficiency levels are low. Policy makers and researchers have focused increasing attention to addressing the gaps in mathematics learning in recent years and the MTSS framework holds promise for improving mathematics outcomes.

Codding’s presentation will provide attendees with the latest research-based support for the use of curricula, assessment, and interventions within a multi-tiered system of service delivery across primary (including early numeracy) and intermediate grades. Specific session objectives will include: providing an overview of mathematics difficulties as observed across grade levels, discussing appropriate assessment techniques for each tier, and describing treatment strategies.
