Eduscape Launches World Class Math Academy for Educators

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. - Feb. 25, 2025 - PRLog -- The results are undeniable, recent NAEP and TIMSS scores underscore continued underperformance in math across almost all grade levels. The U.S. continues to fall behind most industrialized nations on international assessments of K-12 students. Enter Eduscape, which believes that sustainable gains in math will only be achieved by better-preparing teachers to teach math, beginning in college and throughout their teaching career.

"At some point, enough is enough, and we are well beyond that point. The recent NAEP scores revealed nothing new, our kids are on a treadmill in math learning and vastly underachieving. The so-called achievers are essentially good test takers and being peppered with worksheets, which doesn't exactly inspire a love for math, nor the pursuit of a STEM career. Our Math Academy will raise teacher practice, relieve their anxiety around math instruction, and use data to drive solutions instead of letting it sit on the shelf." said Alex Urrea, Founder and CEO of Eduscape.

The Math Academy is led by Dr. Chandra Orrill, one of the most respected math educators in the country. Orrill is currently the Executive Director of Rethink Learning Labs and a former professor of mathematics at UMASS Dartmouth. She has secured and successfully implemented millions of dollars in NSF grants to research and improve math and STEM education. Dr. Orrill is supported by a team of full-time math experts and researchers with experience across all grade levels.

"Math mastery has always been an essential part of a successful academic career; however, we continue to apply the same assessments, interventions, and instructional practices with limited success. How can we inspire more students to enter STEM careers when they can't get past the "M" in STEM? We will succeed by focusing on better supporting teachers to deliver effective and impactful math instruction. The teacher is the epicenter of a successful math strategy, and we must invest in their practice," said Orrill.

The Math Academy takes a fully integrated approach to improving math performance and understanding; beginning with a review of data by district and school, targeted professional learning using a blended delivery model that combines onsite, asynchronous course modules, and job-embedded coaching.
