The Math Recovery® Intervention Specialist (MRIS) course is our original program. It is a yearlong course specifically designed for one-on-one intensive, dynamic, and responsive intervention. A cycle for MRIS teaching is 25-30 minutes per day, 4-5 days a week, for 12-15 weeks. Intervention specialists videotape and analyze assessment and inquiry-based daily instruction (100 hours for certification), keep a reflection journal, and deliver one-on-one intervention.

Individual coaching sessions and collegial collaboration support the ten face-to-face instructional days over the course of the year. Assessment and teaching materials enhance the foundational texts:

• Wright, R. J., Martland, J., & Stafford, A. K. (2006). Early Numeracy: Assessment for teaching & intervention (2nd ed.): SAGE Publications.
• Wright, R. J., Martland, J., Stafford, A. K., & Stanger, G. (2006). Teaching Number: Advancing children's skills & strategies (2nd ed.): SAGE Publications.

This interventionist may choose to advance to other leadership programs that would allow a person to deliver our professional development at a reduced rate to staff within their own school district.

The Add+VantageMR® (AVMR) program utilizes the same research base and learning framework as the Math Recovery® Intervention Specialist course. It was originally designed to inform classroom and small group instruction. As a result, the assessments are a bit quicker to administer, and the program includes tools for organizing the individual students' data to look at how a student fits within a group in specific skill areas. Typically, classroom teachers, teachers of ELL or SLD, and small-group interventionists take this course. An AVMR teacher may not advance to our leadership programs without MRIS.

Add+VantageMR® Course 1 and AVMR Course 2 are four days each in length, and both include assessments, models for scoring, and instructional materials and strategies which foster the educator's ability to diagnose strengths as well as to identify and implement next steps for learning. AVMR 1 is a pre-requisite for AVMR 2.

After training, you can share trends observed during assessment and data collection, specific student strengths and weaknesses, and possible intervention ideas. Math Recovery® materials are protected by copyright, and detailed instructions on what can be shared are provided in a short video during the training. Leadership courses are available for those interested in instructing others.

To arrange a Math Recovery® or Add+VantageMR® professional development course at your district, please contact info@mathrecovery.org.

A course must have a minimum of 12-15 participants to hold an Add+VantageMR® training or 6 to hold a Math Recovery® Intervention Specialist training. Each day is a full day of learning and participants are required to attend the complete training to receive certification for the course.
