Board of Education Curriculum Practices Presentation - Math (ec - 12)

As part of the monthly Curriculum Practices with the Board of Education, Sarah and James presented information regarding ec - 12 math. For those who are interested, the slideshow has been linked here. Key topics from the presentation included:


  • I-Ready, IAR, SAT, and AP data points

  • Curriculum tools utilized

  • Structures for the review cycle

  • Plans to support IAR in the future

  • The current ec - 5 curriculum review cycle


Because there is only one board meeting in March, the next presentation will be in April. This presentation will focus on Social Studies as well as Science. If you have any questions or thoughts for Sarah or James, please reach out through email.


K-5 Math Chat with Sycamore (K-5)

 This week was one of the two math pilot chats we had with outside schools.  Here is the video from the chat with Lisa Winters at Sycamore.  We will also be hosting another chat on March 3rd with Burlington to hear about their pilots.  Please note that these districts do not pilot the same programs as we have chosen so not all programs are discussed.  This does not discount them as options for purchase.  But the feedback does give some insight on how teachers are liking programs around our area.  Enjoy.
