Concepts of Print: Practice-Based Instruction and Assessment
The concept of print is one of the first literacy skills children develop. Print awareness is a child's realization that print carries meaning. Families and teachers can prompt awareness by creating a “print rich” environment. This toolkit includes various strategies to create such an environment.
Accessible Storybooks: Making Books Come Alive for all Learners
This resource focuses on the need for accessibility and provides ways in which storybooks can be used for all children.
Using Children's Literature to Build Mathematics Literacy
In this resource, several lessons are provided for classroom teaching based on children’s literature and equitable practices. Each lesson includes a reference to a book to use for the lesson, an overview of how to implement the lesson, and supplemental material to use throughout the lesson.
Mathematics Resources for Families/Caregivers of Young Children
Providing families and caregivers with high-quality resources to support young children’s mathematical curiosity and learning away from the school environment may be useful for future learning and positive dispositions toward mathematics. This resource shares an annotated bibliography of materials.
Early Math Literacy Instructional Guides
BranchED convened researchers to identify and address some of the knowledge gaps on the importance of early math in student outcomes. Using this information, the team created instructional guides around each of the five content standards as defined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

BranchED seeks to support individual educator preparation programs (EPPs) and the field at large in reimagining and redefining “quality” preparation programs such that attention to issues of diversity and equity are explicit, embedded, and inextricably linked to high-quality performance.
The Resource Portal was created to support our community by providing resources such as instructional materials, online modules, podcasts, practice-based learning opportunities, research briefs, teaching video library, tool/toolkit, and webinars.
