South Marshall Elementary Principal, Mr. Brad Darnall, has been invited to serve as one of only eight Principal Advisors across the state of Kentucky for the Numeracy Counts Leadership Design Team, led by PIMSER (Partnership Institute for Math and Science Education Reform). This prestigious role highlights Mr. Darnall’s dedication to advancing mathematics education and his commitment to student success.
As a Principal Advisor, Mr. Darnall will collaborate with a distinguished group of leaders, including Dr. Jennifer Bay Williams, Dr. Katherine Marrin, Dr. Kim Zeidler-Watters, and Dr. Renee Yates, to design professional learning experiences for over 500 elementary principals and district administrators across Kentucky.
This council plays a key role in supporting schools across the state in implementing the Kentucky Numeracy Counts Act (HB 162). The law emphasizes that mathematics proficiency is essential for Kentucky students to achieve their academic goals. It ensures comprehensive, high-quality mathematics instruction and multi-tiered support systems for students, enabling them to solve real-world problems and build a strong foundation in mathematical content and practices.
This opportunity allows Mr. Darnall to share South Marshall Elementary’s story of mathematics program improvement, deepen his expertise in instructional leadership, and further the academic excellence of South Marshall Elementary.
