What's New?
What’s new in Bridges Intervention, Revised Edition?
To better reflect our instructional philosophy and to align with research about intervention practices, a revised version of Bridges Intervention was announced in May 2022.
- An increased focus on equity. An explicit focus on purposeful questioning strategies provides more opportunities for students to make sense of math. A strengths-based approach builds on a student’s abilities, rather than deficits, helping them gain knowledge and confidence.
- Evolving pedagogy. The removal of timed activities follows the latest research on student learning. Updated fact and fluency strategies are also aligned with current research.
- Improved usability. The structure, materials and instructions are designed so that any educator—from experienced teachers to new paraprofessionals—can jump right in with their students.
How does Bridges Intervention, Revised Edition, provide structure and support?
- Organized by topic, Bridges Intervention is a flexible resource that can be used with any elementary math curriculum.
- Each Bridges Intervention set provides everything needed for each 30-minute session.
