COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tap Math, a multisensory math program that makes learning crucial math concepts accessible and clear for students who struggle to understand grade-level content, had three executives and three solutions recognized at the 2023 Equity Excellence Awards , including a category win in Special Contribution to Equity. TouchMath was a finalist in the following categories: Company of the Year, Leader of the Year (Sean Lockwood, CEO), Best Special Education Solution (TouchMath Standards Edition), Product Enhancement of the Year (TouchMath PRO 2.0), and Author, Speaker, or Consultant (Dr. Sandra Elliott).
Created by The American Consortium for Equity in Education, the Excellence in Equity Awards program recognizes businesses, nonprofit organizations, leaders and educators whose work contributes to the fundamental goal of ensuring access and equity for all students. The awards program received more than 120 nominations across its 25 different categories, each demonstrating innovative and diligent work being done across the country to improve student outcomes.
“We are honored to have so many of TouchMath's team members and solutions recognized at this year's Excellence in Equity Awards,” said Sean Lockwood, CEO of TouchMath. “This recognition is not only a testament and validation of the work my colleagues do every day, but also serves as a reminder to prioritize equitable instruction in everything we do. Congratulations to the TouchMath team members who were selected as finalists and to Scott for winning the Special Contribution to Equity.”
Scott Andrews, named Special Contribution to Equity and Product and Design Manager at TouchMath, has been an advocate for equity in education for more than a decade. His strong belief in universal access to quality mathematics education has led to the expansion of TouchMath materials into Spanish, helping linguistically diverse students. Through these initiatives, Scott's leadership has empowered both educators and students, removing barriers and fighting for educational equity.
“I am deeply grateful to have been named the category winner for an aspect of education that I am passionate about.
