Illinois Numeracy Plan Listening and Feedback Tour
The Illinois State Board of Education is developing the Illinois Comprehensive Numeracy Plan, a statewide initiative to strengthen math learning for all students. The plan will guide shared efforts across the state to improve student achievement in mathematics and prepare all learners for future success. You are encouraged to read the initial draft of the plan posted on the ISBE website. The Illinois State Board of Education will host multiple listening tour sessions across the state to gather direct feedback on the first draft of the Illinois Comprehensive Numeracy Plan. ISBE wants to ensure that all Illinois stakeholders provide feedback on this important work. Input shared will directly inform the final plan. Please see the details about the listening tour sessions on the ISBE website. Registration is required.
