Did you know: Alabama established an Office of Mathematics Improvement to overhaul K-5 math in 2022. In 2024, it was the only state to improve its math scores on the #NAEP, compared to 2019. We can do this in CT! Write-up from the @Hunt_Institute hunt-institute.org/resources/2025…

Connecticut's math outcomes aren’t where they should be. We need a comprehensive, multi-year plan to ensure #EveryKidCountsCT. Read our report here: conncan.org/publication/ev…

Our new report on modernizing math in CT maps out a comprehensive policy plan, divided into three phases, to enhance academic rigor, revamp teacher training, and modernize pathways into the postsecondary world. @EducateCT @EastConn @atomic_math @AMTENews conncan.org/publication/ev…

In 2023, the Connecticut State Board of Education unanimously endorsed a Joint Statement on Equity in Mathematics, developed by educators, school leaders, coaches, and higher education partners across Connecticut. Read their important work: portal.ct.gov/-/media/SDE/Ma…

Important considerations for states working to improve math policy, from our national team at @FiftyCAN 🧵 #EveryKidCountsCT

A strong math foundation opens doors. Connecticut must build a comprehensive math system starting in the early grades so students are prepared for life after high school and civic participation. Learn more: conncan.org/publication/ev… #EveryKidCountsCT

Every kid can be a math person. Our new report #EveryKidCountsCT outlines a roadmap to strengthen math instruction across Connecticut. More in @insider_ct: tinyurl.com/4scfwev6

Connecticut ranks in the lower half of states for kids reading for fun each day. Parents say too many students miss out on arts, sports, and after-school opportunities. Explore the new parent survey: conncan.org/publication/th…

Connecticut parents believe in their schools, but too many students still lack support. Nearly 9 in 10 parents back tutoring and summer learning, yet only about 1 in 4 students get tutoring. Read the full report: conncan.org/publication/th…

One message from Connecticut parents is clear: opportunity is uneven. About one in three families say they lack real school choice or would choose differently if they could. See what parents across Connecticut are saying: conncan.org/publication/th…

Even after learning what Connecticut spends per student, many parents still say school funding is not enough. This concern is strongest among low-income families who see the gaps most clearly. Full report: conncan.org/publication/th…

Yesterday, our Reimagining School Safety Coalition stood alongside State Representatives to highlight a simple truth: you cannot educate an empty desk. Read our full statement here: conncan.org/from-our-leade…

We’re ready to engage, listen, and help this panel deliver real results for students and families across the state. Every kid reads. Every kid counts.

Through #EdREFOCUS, ConnCAN will push for early literacy, better math pathways, and smarter use of public dollars. @CTSenateDems @CTSenateGOP @CTHouseDems @cthousegop

@GovNedLamont announced a new Blue Ribbon Panel on K–12 education and funding today. Done right, this can move the needle for Connecticut’s kids.
