Why Relevance is the New Rigor in Math Education

To keep students engaged, make math meaningful.
Start by answering the question they’re always asking: “Why does this matter?”

During a virtual mini-conference hosted by Education Week, our founder and CEO, Dr. Joseph Goins, shared how career-connected learning (CCL) helps students see the relevance of math by linking classroom concepts to real-world careers. He highlighted key research showing how CCL can:

✅ boost motivation

✅ deepen engagement

✅ improve outcomes

✅ close equity gaps

✅ and more!

Hundreds of educators joined the live session. Now you can watch Dr. Goins’s presentation on demand.
