Gov. Reynolds issues statement on Iowa Senate passing legislation to improve math education
DES MOINES--Today, Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Iowa Senate passing HF 784, a bill addressing critical gaps in math education through early, evidence-based intervention and additional training for instructors: “One of the greatest predictors of future success in the classroom and workplace, along with early literacy, is mathematics competency,” Gov. Kim Reynolds said. “At an early age we need to identify children who are not yet proficient in math and ensure they receive the personalized help they need to build a strong foundation. We will support our teachers with evidence-based professional development and ensure all students receive math instruction in the way we know it works.”
