Tonight you will see the district’s plan to respond to the math audit.

We will share…

•Innovations already in motion

• Our plan of action through 2014

• District consistency (sequence and expecta,ons) • Number sense, including frac,ons • Founda,onal math concepts and skill deficits • Resources for high performers • Problem solving strategies and reasoning • Procedural and “front of room” teaching • Effects of teaching to NJASK • Materials or curriculum‐specific usability issues 

Before the audit, our concerns were… 

2008‐2009‐Consistency • Progress report shading (for sequence) • Consistent assessments & scoring guides (expecta,ons)

Tradi,onal Program 

Hybrid Program 

Construc,vist Program 

Learning About Commercial Math Programs 

• 2009‐2010 We met with vendors and previewed samples of 6+ math programs.  

• Spring 2010 Ms. Beane narrowed it to 3 programs that are widely used and representa,ve of different types  

• 2010‐2011 All K‐5 teachers saw presenta,ons on the 3 representa,ve programs 

• May 2011 All teachers will provide feedback 

• May‐June 2011 Teacher commifee will do a compara,ve analysis of standards alignment and how well each program develops key concepts (number sense and place value, frac,ons, facts/computa,on, & problem solving) 

• Summer 2011 Selec,on & Administrator Training 

• Fall 2011 Begin teacher training
