DRAFT Denver Math Fellows core components

8

  • 45 minutes of daily small group tutoring in 4th, 6th and 8th grades.
  • Pullout intervention that does not supplant daily mathematics

instruction.

  • Program utilizes “Do the Math” at 4th grade, and “Do the Math Now”

and “Navigator” at 6th and 8th grades.

  • Lesson sequence is standards‐based with a clear objective, “do now,”

“exit ticket” and adaptive instruction based on student mastery of

  • bjectives.
  • Students are assessed five times per year via the Scholastic Math

Inventory (SMI).

  • Roll-out program to school leaders
  • Hire 313 math tutors and 22 coordinators
  • Set-up tutorial environments in all schools
  • Seamless launch with start of school
  • Administer first SMI assessment by 9/ 13
  • Ensure early fidelity in implementation

SLIDE 10

DRAFT Expectations for schools with flexibility in spending tutorial funding

11

  • 45 minutes of daily math support during the school day, for 4th, 6th and

8th graders who scored below proficient on prior year’s TCAP math.

  • No more than 5:1 student‐to‐staff ratio.
  • Intervention is a pullout that is in addition to 75 minutes of daily core

mathematics instruction.

  • Students should not be pulled out of any core instruction.
  • Lessons are standards‐based with clear objectives based on individual

students’ needs.

  • Students are regularly assessed in relation to both foundational math

skills and grade level content.

DRAFT Checkpoints on the way to successful implementation

12

  • Roll-out program to 66 school leaders
  • Schools develop intervention plans and identify staffing

needs for 13-14

  • Purchase intervention materials and interim

assessment programs

  • Utilize TCAP data to identify students in need
  • Administer first SMI (or other interim) assessment
  • Ensure early fidelity in implementation

Progress Monitoring for 13-14

slide-13
SLIDE 13

DRAFT Impact goals for 2013-14 school year

14

1. TCAP Math proficiency will increase by 3.5% for tutored students. 2. Percentage of tutored students scoring a 50 MGP or greater will increase by 3.5‐5%. 3. Academic achievement gaps will decrease by 3.5‐5% for tutored students. 4. 100% of schools aligned with program parameters to ensure fidelity of implementation Denver Math Fellow Specific 1. 100% staffed and initially trained to start the year. Achieved. 2. Retain 90% of fellows throughout the entire year and develop a waitlist to backfill

  • penings as needed.
slide-14
SLIDE 14

DRAFT How will we monitor progress during the course of the year?

15

1. Steady decreases in students testing “Below Basic” and “Basic” on each progressive SMI assessment. 2. From SMI 1 to SMI 5, see gains in numbers of students testing at or above proficient. 3. Math Fellow Development: weekly observations and coaching; monthly campus based training; weekly feedback survey by fellow and school.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

DRAFT Next Steps

  • Share SMI data after the completion of SMI 1 & 2.
  • Tour of elementary and middle school Denver Math

Fellows program.

  • Presentations from schools receiving math intervention

flexible funds to discuss their intervention approaches.

After accounting for additional DPS ECE capacity for 2013‐14, sub‐regions SE‐C and FNE‐B still have the highest need for ECE seats. Sub‐regions FNE‐C, SE‐A, and NW‐D have a remaining need (note: LeDoux and Escalante‐ Biggs will provide support to NW‐D and FNE‐C respectively)

  • Utilize the rubric

designed by ECE Expansion committee

  • On-site reviews for

new applicants Approval May

  • Up to set number

  • Cap the total

allocated seats to align with MLO funding Contract June

  • Align with CPP &

DPP rules for consistency

  • Compensation

decisions determined to align with CPP

Last fall, 3 meetings were held with ECE Community leaders to discuss the summary process for expansion, both at DPS locations as well as Community Providers. This is the

  • utput from that group.

DRAFT Com m unity Process Highlights

  • Forty‐seven community providers applied
  • Requested 1,400 slots
  • Used Committee‐developed rubric with three readers to score

each application

  • Awarded 500 slots, or $1.5 million of mill levy funding, to

community based on scores and high need priority areas

  • DPS now contracts with 35 providers with CPP, Mill Levy and

ECARE funds for a total of $4.7M

DRAFT Analytical Snapshot of Community Allocations

22

  • To assess overall need, we primarily looked at remaining unmet need in a sub‐region.
  • We used the first round wait list data and ECE to Kinder ratios as a secondary measure of demand.
  • Using these three data points, we were able to determine the weighted points (60% weight on remaining unmet demand, 20% on

wait lists, and 20% on ECE to Kinder ratios).

  • If a sub‐region did not have a remaining unmet demand, the region was considered as limited needs since demand for DPS

seats would not necessarily align with community provider demand.

DRAFT Future Considerations

  • Monitor enrollment levels at both DPS and community sites to ensure mill

levy awards are being fully utilized

  • Reassess highest needs sub‐regions for further expansion through both

DPS facilities as well as engaging with community providers to encourage their expansion into these regions, potentially including funding support

  • Implement ECE program accountability to tie quality ratings to student
  • utcomes in kindergarten and beyond
