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
2010‐2011‐Professional Development • Current math ed. research and programs • “On Demand” internet professional development • Individualized Math Instruc,on Time (+iPod pilot) • District‐wide differen,a,on training in all subjects
60 Minute Math Lesson Differen,a,on
25 Minute Individualized Math Instruc,on
Follows curriculum
Covers all standards
New content

Individualized tasks
Concepts individualized
(From October 2010 Parent Curriculum Nights)
• BOE and Central Office ac,ons (not math specific) • Narrow the achievement gap, including differen,a,on • Less pencil and paper work • Integra,on of technology • Alignment with standards & tes,ng (new standards) • Assessment system; using data to inform instruc,on • Planning & communica,on of curriculum process • Specific elements to include in the curriculum guide

A New Adventure For K-5 Math
Phase 1: Professional Learning
Phase 2: Program Development
Phase 3: Implementation
(Staff Development Day September 3, 2010)
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)
