Implementing Common Core

The Bad News:  Our current curriculum is not 100% aligned with the Common Core. Some of our textbooks are obsolete and newer, aligned, curriculum is just now becoming available. Consequently, our math teachers spend a lot of time designing supplemental activities and lessons.  Students were perplexed with some of the questions on the SBAC pilot, both mathematically and technologically. The transition will be challenging for students who have become accustomed to bubbling in STAR tests.

Implementing Common Core

The Good News:  Teachers collaborate across grade levels. Consequently, most formal assessments are common to the grade or class and we meet regularly to design lessons, discuss results, and plan. The math department uses best practices for teaching

• math. Inquiry-based lessons, writing about math, and

technology continue to be part of the 6-8th grade math

• curriculum. We don’t have to learn a new way to teach to

support Common Core.
