Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an intervention program used in my district, TransMath, to see if this intervention was helping close the skill gaps for students entering high school Math 1. A mixed methods convergent design was used to examine the program. Quantitative data from survey results were reviewed on the professional learning provided to teachers, while qualitative data from interview transcripts were analyzed to examine teacher perceptions of the program. Finally, student test scores were analyzed using a repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings from this program evaluation did demonstrate statistically significant increases in student achievement on test scores; however, the implementation of the math intervention has not created teacher understanding or buy-in for the program, and therefore, misuse is occurring. While the teachers indicated that they have received ongoing professional development on both MTSS and TransMath, results also indicated that more explicit training on critical components of MTSS as well as specific features in TransMath is needed to better help teachers develop their deeper understanding of effective math interventions.
