This report explores the question: “How can we help more students master Algebra I, especially those who start the course with significant unfinished learning?” It is based on a TNTP analysis of three years of data from more than 2000 math students and explores practice strategies for integrating Tier 2 supports into daily instruction.

This suite of school improvement tools is based on TNTP’s Opportunity Makers report which profiled seven public schools that have changed the trajectory academic outcomes for students. The collection includes a baseline self-assessment tool and action guides focused on three trajectory-changing practices: Belonging, Consistency, and Coherence.
