This is for District Leaders Who

  • Are seeing inconsistent math instruction across classrooms
  • Have strong teachers but uneven results
  • Are tired of one-and-done PD that doesn’t stick
  • Need a clear, system-wide approach that actually improves scores
  • Want to support new and struggling teachers quickly gain content and instructional skills

         Is this you?  

Why Math Scores Stall, even in Top Rated Districts

In many districts, math achievement plateaus, not from lack of effort, but from lack of instructional alignment.

  • Instruction varies from classroom to classroom
  • Students rely on teacher explanations instead of doing the thinking
  • Walkthroughs lack a consistent focus on math-specific practices
  • Test prep is reactive instead of built into daily instruction

When instruction isn’t aligned, results aren’t predictable.
And without a system, improvement doesn’t sustain.

 

A System That Drives Measurable Math Achievement

We partner with districts to implement a clear, structured approach to math instruction, so improvement is intentional, not accidental.

The RED Hot Math Proficiency Accelerator focuses on implementing the instructional practices that consistently produce results across all classrooms.

 

FOUR Research-Based PILLARS

Instructional Consistency

Aligned expectations for what effective math instruction looks like in every class. Focus on ETPs and HITS

Purposeful Questioning

Students explore, explain, justify, and think deeply. Teachers use "ask don't tell" strategies of problem-based learning.

Data-Driven Instruction

Instruction responds to student needs in real time, using formative assessment, throughout lessons.

Leadership Alignment

Walkthroughs and coaching reinforce and support the practices that drive achievement

Four proven steps:How it works

  1. Diagnose
    Triangulated data and discussion to pinpoint gaps in instruction and achievement across grades, schools, classrooms.
  2. Train
    Deliver focused professional learning tied directly to classroom practice for coaches and teachers (principals also recommended, but optional)
  3. Support
    Provide ongoing coaching and feedback to ensure consistent implementation as learning is practiced
  4. Monitor
    Track progress and adjust to ensure measurable gains are consistent across the district. Recalibration and  customization are part of the process.

MATH ACHIEVEMENT ADVISOR 

I'm Linda Cordes

For the past two decades, I have been leading frustrated, overwhelmed teachers, coaches and administrators past chronic failure to achieve outrageous math results with my REDHOT Framework.

My unique approach to professional learning is built on 35+ years of experience teaching math, coaching teachers, and consulting with diverse K-12 districts in over 49 states and counting. My Mission: to bust the myths that zap math confidence and block math achievement.

Districts who partner with me report consistent gains in student confidence and achievement. Many celebrate double, and even triple math proficiency gains! I'm ready to support you.

I  partner directly with district leaders, coaches, and teachers to ensure instruction is aligned, consistent, and focused on what drives student success.

My work is grounded in one core belief:

The one doing the thinking,talking, and struggling with the math is the one learning the math.  

I tell educators: Stop telling, start asking.

Proven Gains: This Works!

No brag, no empty promises.  This works. One district went from 37% proficient overall to 53% proficient in their first year of working with Linda. 

They were recognized by their state as "the most improved" district. Their state ranking moved dramatically from 83rd to 35 over the next 2 years.

This could be you!  Imagine this time next year when the results are in and you have bragging rights for most improved and ranking among the top 10 districts in your state!
