PRompt Intervention in Mathematics Education

The Ohio Resource Center has released PRompt Intervention in Mathematics Education (PRIME). The work was commissioned and supported by the Ohio Department of Education. The publication, edited by Sigrid Wagner, contains chapters by Ohio educators who reviewed research and cutting-edge intervention programs in mathematics. You can download the entire PDF or access individual chapters below.

Recommendations from research and characteristics of effective programs are included. Synopses of the research chapters are presented in the PRIME Executive Summary, and an annotated list of programs can be found in the PRIME Mathematics Intervention Programs.

The PRIME Conference was held April 21, 2005, with more than 300 school administrators, curriculum supervisors, teacher leaders, and teacher educators in attendance. Concurrent sessions in the morning presented highlights from research on mathematics intervention. Afternoon sessions featured successful intervention programs. The opening session included a welcome from Margaret Kasten, Director of the Ohio Resource Center, and an introduction by Joan Leitzel, Ohio Department of Education. The first part of the opening session may be seen on PRIME Video #1 (requires Quicktime Media Player).

The opening session speaker was Steve Leinwand, American Institutes for Research, who challenged participants to replace remediation in mathematics with prompt intervention. His complete speech is available on PRIME Video #2 (requires Quicktime Media Player).
