Partner School of the Month

Congratulations to Calera Middle School, the Ascend Math Partner School of the Month for January!

Ascend Math has been a valuable asset to the program at Calera Middle School. It provides opportunities for personalized instruction that supports students in closing skill gaps. We frequently use Ascend Math in both one-on-one and small-group settings, allowing instruction to be closely aligned with individual math goals. The program supports foundational skill development through targeted remedial lessons and effectively scaffolds instruction toward mastery of grade-level standards.
