Recommendations for the 2026 Illinois Comprehensive Numeracy Plan
New Classrooms submitted
recommendations on Illinois’ second
draft of the Comprehensive Numeracy
Plan, focused on a core challenge in
math policy: how to ensure students
who are behind receive targeted
support without creating remediation
structures that pull students away from
core instruction.
Our recommendations urge Illinois to make instructional coherence a core organizing principle of their numeracy plan. They define how core and supplemental instructional materials, interventions, skill-based assessments, and progress monitoring need to work together.
