Welcome to the IRIS Center
The IRIS Center is a national center dedicated to improving education outcomes for all children, especially those with disabilities birth through age twenty-one, through the use of effective evidence-based practices and interventions.
Updated IRIS Module
Newly revised and expanded, our High-Quality Mathematics Instruction: What Teachers Should Know Module describes the components of high-quality mathematics instruction, including a standards-based curriculum and evidence-based practices. It also highlights a number of evidence-based practices--for example, explicit, systematic instruction; metacognitive strategies; visual representations; and schema instruction--as well as other classroom practices that teachers can use to teach mathematics.

New Resource: IRIS Micro-credentials
Recognized by a growing number of state and district professional development systems for recertification and continuing education credits, micro-credentials allow teachers to master discrete skills at their own pace and in their own classrooms. Every micro-credential earned comes with a digital badge that can be posted on professional social network sites. The IRIS Center now offers micro-credentials in partnership with Digital Promise.
