Curriculum & Instruction DepartmentMathematics

The NPS Mathematics Department advocates for high-quality teaching and instruction every day, for every student in order to develop mathematical literacy.

We will:

Align our RIGOROUS curriculum to the NCTM and VDOE standards

Develop numerical LITERACY in all students

Use INNOVATION to promote cross-curricular connections

Demonstrate LEADERSHIP with a Mathematical Growth Mindset

VA Math Five Process Goals

Mathematics Department #NPSMath

Implement the New 2016 Standards in the written, taught and

assessed curriculum

We have 25 Math Specialists and 18 Department Chairs in

buildings to support this work with unpacking, planning,

coaching, assessing and data analysis.

Increase intentionality of the math block using a responsive

Math Workshop model

We realized the need to implement a more structured math

block format which includes a time for Number and Sense

making development, a focused lesson, on-going formative

assessment, and differentiated intervention/enrichment.

ESSA designates 2016-2017 as a transition year …… and 2017-2018 school year as the implementation year….. Schools are identified for support every three years beginning with 2018-19 school year (2017-18 assessment year).

Long Term Goals and Interim Measures of ProgressIn accordance with ESSA requirements, long term goals and interim measures of progress were established for reading and mathematics. For each subject, the long term goal is the same as the state accreditation benchmark.

• Baseline rate is based on assessment data from 2015-16• State accreditation benchmark is the long-term goal for each subgroup• Increasing interim targets at seven intervals for reading and mathematics

starting with 2017-18 assessment year• New mathematics assessments will be administered during the 2018-19

assessment year, and new reading assessments will be administered during the 2019-20 assessment year. Revised targets for mathematics and reading will be established following the first administration of the new tests.
