An innovative, standards-aligned professional learning program will continue to support student-centered math instruction across Ohio this Fall and beyond.


BetterLesson, a leading national provider of high-quality, personalized professional learning, announces its partnership with the Ohio Education Service Center Association (OESCA), the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio (ESCCO) to build sustainable capacity to support student-centered math instruction across the state, aligned to the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce priorities. The collaboration represents the continued investment in helping educators grow their instructional practice in alignment with Ohio’s Learning Standards for Mathematics and the Ohio Materials Matter initiative as well as the critical role that Ohio’s 51 Educational Service Centers play in supporting 600+ school districts across the state.

“Our collaboration with BetterLesson marks a critical stride toward equipping Ohio educators with the tools they require to teach mathematics effectively,” said Tom Reed, Project Manager for the Ohio ESC Association “Together, we are pioneering professional development in mathematics education to support instructional leaders, teachers, and, ultimately, students across the state.”


The professional learning plan, developed jointly with ESCCO, includes a robust learning series for Educational Service Center coaches and school-based instructional leaders across Ohio to build instructional leadership capacity with a focus on student-centered math practices. The year-long partnership sought to equip and empower these instructional leaders through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and in-person learning walks and was designed to provide educators with a personalized learning pathway to deepen their instructional leadership skills while bolstering the quality of math instruction in their schools. By incorporating school and district leaders into the partnership, BetterLesson aims to help establish sustainable capacity to promote high-quality math instruction across the state.

“The role of effective professional learning is paramount in transforming education practices. Our collaboration with DEW, ESCCO, and OESCA will equip educators, coaches, and administrators with the tools and skills they need to transform their teaching methods and elevate student learning experiences,” said Matthew Kennard, CEO of BetterLesson.

The partnership also includes a webinar series open to educators across the state of Ohio to build their knowledge of student-centered math instruction and its role in supporting positive student outcomes. During the 2023-24 school year, educators who participate in this webinar series will be able to extend their learning by accessing actionable, on-demand courses and resources through BetterLesson’s innovative platform, the BL Lab, free of charge.

As a leading national provider with scaled implementations in states like Louisiana, North Carolina, and Arizona, BetterLesson is primed to offer their expertise and resources in supporting professional learning across the state. BetterLesson would like to acknowledge the Department of Education & Workforce for envisioning this opportunity, the Ohio Education Service Center Association for conducting the RFP process, and the Central Ohio Education Service Center for administering and providing oversight of the grant.
