After-School Math
Programs That Place Math Confidence Front and Center
Building confidence in math skills and accelerating learning come from a combination of research-based materials and family engagement. When families and teachers come together to offer support and find the joy in math, that’s where students start to make real gains.

A Math Program That Engages Students and Families
Our after-school math program goes beyond what you might imagine as a typical tutoring approach. We do offer a research-based approach combined with intensive small-group instruction, which you might find with other programs. Our difference: We build family engagement into the core of what we do to extend learning beyond the home (and making it fun).
When schools, teachers, and families come together, that’s where we see real results. And that’s true across our math and literacy programs. It’s all built on our Family-Eduator Learning Accelerator (FELA) methodology that drives family engagement and boosts student math understanding.
Why does it work? Families really like what we offer and get involved. In fact, family attendance averages 89% across all Springboard Family Workshops.
When we extend learning beyond the classroom with proven methods and empowering tools, math growth accelerates in just 7-10 weeks.

What Does Our After-School Math Program Look Like?
Our after-school program builds math skills by following a proven process: Build a support team, assess skills and set goals, practice, and celebrate success.
Here’s how the after-school math program works:
Students are assessed and individual goals are set.
Families attend weekly workshops to support math practice at home.
Hands-on practice! Students complete fully scripted lesson plans with interactive elements and activity kits.
Cheer success along the way with free books and an end-of-program celebration!
Use follow-up impact reports to build action plans to continue progress.
The results? Increased math skills, extended math learning at school and home, and added confidence in skill building.
Offering Math Partnerships and Support Across the Board
Our math programs offer more than just student growth. We partner every step of the way, helping schools with implementation tasks, providing teachers with professional development, and building connections between families and schools.

- Logistics planning
- Staff recruitment and training
- Enrollment support and promotion
- Post-program impact reporting
We Provide Teachers With Professional Development
Our math programs are led by educators, so we provide all the support materials and training they need to take the lead. This includes a full curriculum and the tools to use it so teachers can focus on the teaching. Our teacher development includes:
- Complete curriculum with 30 fully scripted 60-minute lesson plans
- Family workshop training

- Web-based app support
We Offer Meaningful Family Engagement
No matter the time of year, our FELA methodology engages families in a way that speaks to them. Families attend our Family Workshops because we center empowerment and joy.Here’s how family involvement is built into the program. Families:
- Participate in weekly Family Workshops
- Build a team with teachers and school
- Learn at-home math practice routines and real-life applications
- Experience math growth and fun together
Springboard Collaborative is different from other literacy programs we’ve worked with in that it emphasizes a holistic approach, engaging families and educators in the learning process.
This collaboration creates a supportive environment that fosters genuine growth and enthusiasm for reading. By involving families and providing targeted professional development
for educators, Springboard builds a community of support that extends beyond the classroom.
