What’s coming…

• No integrated mathematics curriculum – we will remain with the traditional approach

• No changes in math textbooks for 2014-2015• Curriculum will be supplemented and

supported to meet any changes in standards• Currently encouraging teachers to reflect upon

their practices and incorporate the 8 Standards of Mathematical Practice

8 Standards for Mathematical Practicehttp://www.corestandards.org/Math/Practice/

Testing 2013-2014

• At PVPHS preliminary SBAC testing will happen in April – scores will not be reported – all 9th graders will participate in only ELA this year

• 10th Graders will still take the CAHSEE – current pass rate for 1st time is 98-99%

• 11th Graders in Algebra 2 or above will still take the CST test for mathematics, they will also take the EAP portion of the test

http://www.csusuccess.org/eap

Future Testing….

• Testing at the high school level with be done through SBAC and will be 11th grade only starting in 2014-2015

• CAHSEE next year – possibly still administered to 10th grade students

• EAP for 11th graders may still be in place next year but will eventually be replaced with SBAC Testing

• Middle schools will test students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades through SBAC starting next year

What else is happening?

• Increased dialogue with teachers from elementary through high school mathematics

• Algebra 1 will no longer be considered an 8th grade level class by Common Core pacing – a large percentage of our students will still take Algebra 1 in 8th grade

• Focus on applications, cooperative work, more statistics, and a deeper understanding of material

• To do this we still need to concentrate on a comprehensive understanding of the basics

• Changes to future pathways will still offer multiple pathways and areas for advancement
