Districts are encouraged to have a wellcrafted sequence of compacted courses. Content should compact 3 years of content in 2 years, at most. In other words, compacting content from 2 years into 1 year would be too challenging.

Districts  are  encouraged  to  have  a  well-­‐crafted  sequence  of  compacted  courses.    Content  should  compact  3  years  of  content  in  2  years,  at  most.    In  other  words,  compacting  content  from  2  years  into  1  year  would  be  too  challenging.    EVSC  has  chosen  to  compact  6th,  7th,  and  8th  grade  math  into  two  years  of  accelerated  math,  Math  6  Honors  and  Math  7  Honors.

STUDENT  ENROLLMENT  INTO  ACCELERATED  COURSES    

 

 

 

 

 Students  enrolled  in  advanced  coursework  must  meet  two  of  the    following  criteria:  

• Pass+  on  ISTEP+  Math  • Proficiency  on  Grade  Level  Placement  Test  • Pass+  on  Math  Acuity  C  

 

BEYOND  MIDDLE  SCHOOL…Looking  ahead  A  menu  of  challenging  options  should  be  available  for  students  after  their  third  year  of  high  school  mathematics  –  and  all  students  should  be  strongly  encouraged  to  take  mathematics  in  all  years  of  high  school.
