Mathematics Education | Mastery-Based MTSS | Acceleration & Proficiency
Kristen Eveland is a mathematics education expert and consultant with The Core Collaborative, specializing in mastery-based instruction, asset-based Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and continuous improvement. She helps schools move beyond growth measures alone to establish ambitious proficiency goals, address unfinished learning, and accelerate mathematical achievement.
Kristen builds coherent systems of goal setting that connect students, teachers, mathematics departments, and Instructional Leadership Teams (ILTs). Using screening and diagnostic data, she helps educators identify strengths, pinpoint barriers to proficiency, and prioritize classwide acceleration. Grounded in algebraic readiness, mathematical reasoning, and fluency, she designs pathways to mastery, including intensive support for students performing three to five years below grade level. Her MTSS approach integrates standard treatment protocols, baseline assessments, targeted instruction, and progress monitoring until mastery is achieved.
As a lead author of the forthcoming The Math PLC Tune-Up, featuring a foreword by Kyndall Brown, Kristen applies the Impact Teams Evidence–Analysis–Action (EAA) framework to strengthen collaborative inquiry and instructional decision-making. Integrating TCC’s AI-PLC Agent™, she helps teams translate student evidence into measurable goals, precise instructional actions, and ongoing evaluation of impact. Her work connects learner agency, teacher collaboration, and instructional leadership to build sustainable systems of mathematical proficiency.
