Improved Focus

Course Focus

Content Focus

7

Provide consistency of math through naming courses students need to enroll in

INTENT

Provide consistency of math content through adopted math standards

Fixed Alg/Geo/Alg2(Trig) sequence was first created in 1894 for the emerging preparatory schools

CONTEXT

Flexible course options could be created to align to student interests and adopted standards

High school courses were designed to sort and filter students into college ready or not

CULTURE

Design courses that all students can connect with and lift to their goals and aspirations

Courses rush K-8 content, then many students repeat content in HS & College courses

REALITY

Opportunity to pace learning across K-8, HS, and connect to college math options

Naming courses in laws & admission policies lock in traditional courses

IMPACT

Conversations can focus on math progressions and moving students through content.
