The Kansas Math Project (KMP) equips PreK–12 educators with evidence-based practices & content knowledge through Foundational Modules and grade-band specific learning.
We believe that every math teacher in Kansas should have a strong understanding of evidence-based teaching strategies, and that all teachers of math should have an equally strong understanding of math content. The Kansas Math Project, put forth in joint collaboration with the Kansas Department of Education, has been developed to precisely attend to each of these beliefs through a systematic framework of modules geared for teachers and administrators.
A clear pathway to stronger math instruction in three steps
In-person and asynchronously modules bolster teacher math content knowledge and utilization of evidence-based practice by building a framework of coherence in mathematics

Honestly, I would LOVE to take the training again -- so I can catch/learn more the second time through!

I was very impressed, felt it was well done, and left us ready to go back to our classroom and implement.
This was an amazing training! It is giving teachers strategies to use immediately in their classrooms.
This was one of the best trainings! It was very user-friendly and the days went fast!
I really appreciated the time to collaborate at our table -- being with colleagues from different buildings allowed us to really discuss vertical alignment.
I thought it was great! All teachers should go to this training.
This was the best math professional development I have ever attended.
I loved the ideas and organizers that came with the presentation to help with vertical and horizontal alignment.
Wow! I was so impressed with this training and learned so much in two days. I hope more educators from my district have the opportunity to attend.
