The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) is hosting a series of interactive math information sessions, or office hours, for parents, students, community members and educators on the Maryland’s PreK-12 Mathematics Policy.

MSDE adopted the new policy in March and is seeking feedback from stakeholders on the development, design and implementation of it and its anticipated outcomes for students throughout the state. According to MSDE, the policy is designed to advance significant improvements to teaching, learning and achievement in mathematics from early childhood through secondary grades across Maryland.

The math office hours will be held virtually and interested participants should register in advance to attend and receive a link to join the meeting. The meeting dates and times are below.

• Thursday, April 24, 4-5 p.m.
