CALSA’s Summer Institute is where innovators, educators, and leaders come together to shape the future of public education. Grounded in the theme Somos el Puente entre Generaciones, this year’s conference elevates the voices, practices, and partnerships that strengthen schools and communities across California.
Levered was founded by a veteran educator in 2014, with a mission to open pathways of opportunity for upper elementary students through math acceleration. The Levered approach offers a systematic way to build student confidence and proficiency in math, through data-informed instruction that focuses on face-to-face instruction and mathematical discourse, balanced with rigorous, competency-based online lessons. Levered’s flexible program can be used as a core curriculum for grades 3-5, or as a supplemental program outside of the traditional math classroom. In expanded learning and after school settings, early data shows Levered students with CAASPP gains that exceed non-Levered students by double digit percentages.
