MAF

The Math Achievement Fund is a grant from the Kentucky Department of Education to provide schools with funds for teacher training and implementation of intervention services to help primary students struggling with meeting grade level or benchmark expectations for mathematics.

The KCM assists the KDE with the adminstration of the MAF Program by providing professional learning opportunities for MAF math intervention and classroom teachers, visiting MAF schools, and helping MAF teachers fulfill grant requirements.

ADMINISTRATORS

  • AdMIT Meetings  

    Principals from MAF (Mathematics Achievement Fund) schools will engage in professional learning activities and collaboration focused on establishing a math-positive school community.

    This half-day professional learning experience fulfills a Mathematics Achievement Fund grant requirement for principals. 3.5 hours of EILA credit will be available.

    The AdMIT meetings are still in the planning stages. More information will be made available in the coming weeks.

 

For MAF (Mathematics Achievement Fund) Participants

The primary teacher is required to attend eight days of intensive training known as the Comprehensive Course for Primary Grades. The intermediate teacher is required to attend six days of intensive training. The first three days of training is Explorations in Number Talks and Routines for either Grade 3 or Grades 4-5. The remaining three required days will be also be based upon the teacher’s grade level. New Math Intervention Teachers (MITs) attend a ten-day intervention course.
