Math Advisory Board

The RIDE Mathematics Advisory Board is composed of Rhode Island educators representing pre-kindergarten through grade twelve and higher education. Board members serve in an advisory capacity to RIDE, lending their expertise to improve the quality of mathematics education for every student in Rhode Island.

Among the upcoming projects that the advisory board will provide input on are:

• potential changes to RIDE’s Algebra 2 model course
• RIDE state math plan
• math screening guidance
• Comprehensive Assessment System guidance

Members of the advisory board contribute by:

• providing input on ways RIDE can better support Math teachers.
• reviewing instructional resources and/or curricula to determine their utility as pedagogical foundations for strong teaching and learning.
• serving as a vital channel of communication between RIDE, PreK-12 educators, institutes of higher education, and state professional organizations.

Board member responsibilities include:

• working intensively with a team of education professionals
• committing to attend advisory board meetings (approximately every other month from 4:30 - 6:30 pm at locations around the state and/or virtually)
• committing to up to 20 hours of “homework” per board year
• offering current and direct experience to help inform the work of the advisory board
