Welcome, Milwaukee Public Schools!
The following information is presented to support Milwaukee Public School’s request for proposals for online and print learning resources for middle and high school Mathematics Intervention for English and non-English students. We are confident that our research-based programs, developed through deep collaboration with the Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin, will meet or exceed your needs for a top-rated, proven intervention and will assist you in reaching your mathematics achievement goals.

Intensified Algebra I
Struggling students need a powerful combination of additional time, a challenging curriculum, and cohesive, targeted supports and interventions. Agile Mind provides tools and teaching supports to help students stay on track, graduate on time, and gain passage to advanced learning.
Agile Mind’s Intensified Algebra I program is a blended program that integrates a comprehensive, engaging mathematics curriculum with interventions for struggling learners to motivate and develop students’ positive beliefs about their academic abilities. To learn more, visit the Intensified Algebra I program page.
Transform beliefs and behaviors
Social and emotional learning constructs are integrated within our Intensified curriculum. This groundbreaking program melds best practices in math instruction with advances in psychology and in research on struggling learners to shape students’ engagement, confidence, and commitment to challenging academic programs. Students are motivated. Teachers are energized. And parents see for their children a future where success is achievable.
Learn more about the social, emotional, and academic development principles behind our Intensified programs.
Blended learning Approach
Our programs appear in a “blended” format, meaning that some essential materials are provided online and others in print. The online curriculum can be shared with an entire class by being projected. In this model, all that is needed is a computer, access to the Internet, and a projection device. In settings with access to shared computers or tablets, students can work online at the direction of their teacher.
In addition to the online materials, print resources are also available:
- Student Activity Sheets are used by students in the classroom daily and for nightly homework. The sheets can be downloaded as pdfs from the online system or purchased as consumable workbooks.
- Teachers receive a printed Advice for Instruction book with guidance for teaching each day with Agile Mind. The Advice for Instruction resources are also available online.
