Tiered Model of Math Instruction at Pittsfield Public Schools

The Pittsfield Public Schools implement a comprehensive tiered model of math instruction designed to enhance mathematical literacy for all students, including those with learning disabilities. Led by Curriculum Coordinator Linda Avalle and Special Education Director Stephanie Case, the program emphasizes differentiated instruction through Tier I (classroom), Tier II (small group), and Tier III (individual) strategies, focusing on formative assessment and problem-solving skills. The initiative promotes positive behavioral support and collaboration among educators to ensure accessibility and success for struggling learners.
