The Board of Education will support the refinement of Response to Intervention services to ensure that the District provides each student with instructional support to foster academic, social, and emotional growth for all students.

District Strategic Goals 2015-2016

Instruction and Pedagogy (the Art and Science of Teaching)

The Board of Education supports the use of these essential questions to guide our actions in achieving the above goals: ➢ What do we expect each student to learn? ➢ How will we know if they have learned it? ➢ How will we respond if they do not learn it? ➢ How will we respond if they have learned it?

Based on the work of Rebecca and Richard DuFour Professional Learning Communities at Work

District Strategic Goals

Communication

3.

The Board of Education will support the development of a communications plan or strategy that supports ongoing substantive parent and community engagement. 4. The Board of Education will support the development of an effective definition of Clinton School District “Brand” and strategies that will effectively communicate this “Brand” to the larger community and region.

District Strategic Goals

Facilities

5.

The Board of Education will support the development of a five-year facilities plan including future capital projects and

• ngoing maintenance.

Financial Management and Planning

6.

The Board of Education will support the development of a strategic financial plan to ensure financial stability of the District’s educational program including, but not limited to, five year budget/expense projections, capital project reserve analysis, and technology infrastructure growth to support educational technology integration.

Budget Goals

educationally responsible to children

• To develop a funding plan that is fiscally

responsible to the community

Funding Challenges

• Reduced State Aid
• Tax Levy Limit
• Gap Elimination Adjustment - GEA
• Stagnant Local Economic Growth
• Future of Foundation Aid without GEA

Educational Challenges

• Impact of lack of funding and program cuts
• Providing adequate Academic Intervention
• Appropriate class sizes – Core and Encore

What we learned…

• Community values the quality of education the

Clinton Schools provide

• Community values programs that address the

“whole child” (special education, enrichment, AP/Honors, athletics, extra-curriculars, etc.)

• Maintaining the integrity of our program very

important

• Program has been strained by the economic crisis
• Elementary class sizes continued to be an issue
• A need to update STEM opportunity and quality

MATH CURRICULUM PRESENTATION

THE STORY OF UNITS

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

• 100 % teacher buy in to our program
• Our faculty and staff see the coherence

between grade levels

• Our faculty and staff are familiar with

mathematical tools that can be applied to different mathematical concepts

• Tools such as number bonds, tape diagrams,

arrays and area models are strategically utilized to scaffold student learning.

• Each lesson contains fluency, concept

development, application of concepts, practice page, exit ticket and homework.

Math Instructional Goals

Where do we meet our student’s needs?

CONCRETE

Using math manipulatives such as blocks, place value charts, clocks, unit squares.

PICTORAL

What can we visualize to help us understand the math? What can we draw to make sense and meaning?

ABSTRACT

Now that we understand the math, what is the most efficient way for us to solve the problem?

84

Where are we going?

1.

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

2.

Reason abstractly and quantitatively

3.

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others

4.

Model with mathematics

5.

Use appropriate tools strategically

6.

Attend to precision

7.

Look for and make use of structure

8.

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

85

Standards for Mathematical Practice

Math Academic Intervention Process

Daily Implementation

• f Mathematical

Practices

Provide teacher training on how to effectively manage math instruction while prioritizing mathematical practices.

Customization and Preparation

• f Each Math

Lesson

Assist teachers with strategic planning to meet the individual needs of our students who are above and below grade level expectations.

Daily, Quarterly & Yearly Collection of Data to Drive Instructional Goals

Collect and analyze data that would be useful to help set goals for individual students, classrooms, grade levels and our elementary building.

Middle School 6-8

Program Goals

To provide all students with a solid foundation of the math skills and reasoning ability in accordance with the NYSCC Learning Standards to enable them to be successful at the Regents level.

• To provide all students with a variety of learning strategies/activities to

accommodate all learning styles.

• To provide support for students who struggle in math to improve their level of

understanding and competence in all areas of mathematics.

• To provide enrichment opportunities for those students who are ready to be

challenged.

• To integrate the latest technology into all levels.

Course Offerings

6th Grade Grade 6 CC Math 1 hour/ day 7th Grade Grade 7 CC Math 39 minutes/day 7 Honors CC Math 39 minutes/day 8th Grade Grade 8 CC Math 39 minutes/day Algebra 1 CC (Honors)* 39 minutes/day *Designates course with a Regents Exam.

Program Implementation

• All courses base their curriculum on the NYSCC Learning Standards as well

as the CCS District Standards.

• RtI strategies are in place in all classrooms.
• A Special Education teacher pushes into classes at each grade level to

provide direct support to students during classroom instruction.

• Software programs such as IXL, Castle Learning and Problem-Attic are used

for supplementary purposes.

• I-ready software programs are used for diagnostic purposes.
• Students are given a chance for enrichment through co-curricular programs

like Continental Math League competitions and Mathcounts competitions.

Challenges

• Concepts require students to use higher level thinking skills, which causes

them to spend more time on task and can lead to frustration for them.

• Many problems have a sequence of steps that leads to the correct answer

instead of a single calculation.

• Students are asked to show a deeper level of understanding through a

written justification of their answers, which can be difficult for some.

• Providing AIS services (Tier 2 RtI strategy) in a separate period of

instruction as schedules for students and teacher conflict.

• Providing students with the latest technology, especially graphing calculators,

and instructing them to use their features to check work.

High School Mathematics

Program Goals

• 1. Data Analysis: Integrate, analyze, and refine

instructional pedagogy to improve student achievement on the NYSCC Learning Standards for math.

• 2. Technology: Provide students with access and

instruction on the effective use of TI Nspire/TI-84 calculators in all secondary level math courses.

• 3. Rigor: Research, create, and provide rigorous

courses for all students based upon their ability level and career plans.

• 4. Culture: Create a cultural expectation in which all

students will complete 4 credit hours of math before graduating.

* Designates a course that has a Regents Exam ** Designates a course that has a Regents Exam and includes 50% more seat time than Honors course *** Designates a Dual Credit MVCC course Five teachers currently teach:

Implementation and Instructional Strategies of CCSS

• Incremental rollout of Common Core Courses:
• 2014 - 2015 - Algebra CC
• 2015 - 2016 - Geometry CC
• 2016 - 2017 - Algebra II CC
• Increase seat time in Regents sections of Algebra, Geometry,

and Algebra II by 50%

• Provide students with technological literacy to check answers

(TI-Calculator, Castle Learning, and Problem-Attic)

Meeting The Common Core Challenges

• More Rigorous Standards
• Increased emphasis on the interpretation of the

questions and the written explanation of the answers

• Greater emphasis on statistics
• Trickle Down Effect
• Many topics once introduced in Algebra II/Trig are

now being introduced at the Algebra I CC

• Deeper Level of Understanding
• Students must identify and explain their answers
