Math Nation Louisiana | WestEd Survey and Report

Background

This study aimed to assess teachers' early experiences with Math Nation in Louisiana during the 2022-2023 school year. Specifically, it gathered feedback on how teachers used Math Nation, its perceived impact on student learning, and overall satisfaction with the program. To support continuous improvement and future program development, Accelerate Learning partnered with WestEd to conduct a teacher survey in spring 2023. Math Nation’s state-specific mathematics program launched in Louisiana during the 2022-2023 school year and became available to teachers statewide in November 2022. A total of 116 teachers participated in the survey, providing valuable insights into their experiences with the program.
