This was a great professional development. The PD was thoughtfully organized and very informative. The strategies to help students over come their math trauma were strategies that I have used before, but they didn't have the meaning behind them. Now that I have taken this course I truly see why it is so important to build these strategies without using math at first. Also, the Math Wars Method is amazing. I can't wait to start teaching the Math Wars Method in my 7th grade math classes this school year. The structure of the lessons and the constant formative assessment will definitely help with my struggling students and my classrooms as a whole. If you are looking for a way to help engage ALL learners, take this professional development. The modules were easy to follow, well organized and many notes and PDFs were provided. Thank you for this great learning opportunity!

I love all of the attention to detail. Questions are answered before I even ask them and if not I can always ask in the comment section!

I learned so much while taking this course, and I will be excited to teach math again. It's hard to hit all learners in a classroom, and this made it seem easy.

Real help from a real math teacher. Instead of buzzwords and ideas that only work in a perfect world, I am walking away with a multitude of activities and practices to implement the moment my class starts.

Julianna not only tells you her strategies for teaching grade level content to struggling math learners, but she walks you through step by step how to implement everything in your own classroom.

The Math Intervention Accelerator is a comprehensive, well-researched and organized professional development system for teachers striving to reach students who have gaps in math skills, math anxiety or poor motivation. I am excited to implement many of the warm ups, provide effective just in time intervention and encourage collaboration and communication with the Math Wars method! Thank you Juliana.

I was very excited to receive tangible/actionable activities to start with on day 1. I feel like this gives a base for every student to start from together and to end together with all students having confidence in themselves and moving forward.

I have a better understanding on how I want my math classroom to operate to get better results.

The way the course is structured, the length of the videos, and the resources provided are key to understanding the method and being able to implement it in your classroom.

I am excited to get started with this program in my math classes. I teach special education math to 6, 7, and 8 grade classes. I am excited to show them mastery based learning so their anxiety for math can be lowered. I will let you know how it is going once school starts back up.

I learned about Juliana Tapper through a free online summit for Math teachers. Her teaching intrigued me so I signed up for one of her free workshops. Then I bought her book. Then I reached out to her with some questions and was so excited she personally emailed me and suggested I look into her Math Intervention Accelerator course. It looked like something I could use so I signed up and worked through it over my summer break. What she has to teach is so practical and helpful for intervention teachers and mainstream teachers with students who struggle. After two years of teaching Math Intervention I felt discouraged and wondered how I would ever help my students make the progress I felt like they could make. I just didn't know what else to do. Juliana's course has given me a foundation of understanding why students struggle and equipped me to better meet my students needs going forward. Her training program has been invaluable and I'm grateful to have access to it.

This was a great course to help me learn and develop engagement strategies to ensure I am reaching all of my students. I've really been struggling with having a broad spectrum of abilities in each section of my course, as well as an overall apathy towards learning math. I am hopeful that the Math Wars and mastery based grading will be game changers for my math class.

I recently completed Julianna’s course on the BREAK Framework. While this program is designed for intervention, I see great potential in applying it to any student who historically struggles with math. I have high hopes for implementing these strategies in my own classroom this upcoming school year, and after completing this course, I finally feel I have the comprehensive tools needed to make that a success.

Julianna’s instruction validated my own teaching philosophy and reinforced my confidence in my current approach. More importantly, the course helped me round out some of the concerns I’ve had regarding my philosophy, specifically by challenging conventional wisdom regarding 'bad' teaching practices. She provided the research and practical connections to demonstrate how these strategies can be highly effective when used intentionally.

Specifically, she completely changed my perspective on cold calling and the policy of using a 50% floor rather than a zero. I was previously a staunch opponent of both practices, but her evidence-based approach shifted my viewpoint. I now feel fully prepared for a successful year ahead.

Lots of hands on information and motivating activities such as Math wars

This course was easy to follow, well-organized, and provided meaningful, practical information that I can apply in my math classroom.

I appreciate you answering questions that came up in my mind while you were talking about various methods, lessons, directions. It was almost like we were just discussing this together.
I know this will be a change from my "former" approach to lessons, but I see the positives and benefits in this and am willing to keep moving forward. Thank you for the editable pieces that will save me some work.

There is a lot of relevant information and the presentations address everything from planning, student buy in, presenting, grading and grade conversion. It addresses how to still help the students who end a unit with deficits.

Finding quality math intervention resources, especially for secondary students, has been very difficult over my 7 years of teaching middle school math. I wish I would have found this program sooner as it is top notch! I found that I was naturally doing pieces of this already so this course filled out a framework for me to really approach intervention classes methodically in a way that I know will benefit my students.

Powerful and Impactful. This provided clear instructions on how to help all math students. It is a multi-faceted and adjustable. I have easily implemented Math Wars and my students are enthusiastically focused. I intend to continue to implement strategies.

I really enjoyed my experience working with the coursework. I am not all the way done, but plan to complete this summer.
