Can Ohio’s New Law Help Improve Math Rankings?

An important law for education and the future of Ohio was signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine in June and is about to make an impact on the new school year.

Senate Bill 19, sponsored by state Sen. Andrew Brenner, a Republican, passed overwhelmingly.

The law is meant to improve math rankings, which have seen a dip in Ohio due to the pandemic. It’s a law that Aaron Churchill, Ohio research director for the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, calls “a very multifaceted approach to try to tackle the issue.”

Among other reforms, the law ensures that math proficiency starts with the teachers—meaning, elementary and middle school teachers have to be proficient in math before they can teach it.

Churchill stressed the need to start early through prospective teachers passing licensure tests. He called it “common sense” to ensure that teachers have “a baseline knowledge of math,” with early years being “so foundational for kids.”

Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, shared coverage of the law from NBC 4 to call out the ongoing learning loss suffered during the pandemic era.

This is a moral failure that betrays our kids & it comes right after the Covid school closures that resulted in irreparable learning loss. Now the woman who caused the problem wants a job promotion. Can’t make this stuff up. https://t.co/ERcdsotebV— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) August........
