sub+committees

=The following sub committees will be established to divide up the work for large tasks that will help us to make the best decisions for our students and teachers. It would be optimal to complete as much work as possible over the summer.=

Curriculum & Standards Analysis Committee - New!
This subcommittee will collect and review mathematics curricula from other school districts to learn about how math content is organized and aligned. This subcommittee will also exam how other district are approaching the transition to the Common Core State Standards. The product associated with this task will be a report on the similarities and differences among district mathematics curricula and their approaches to Common Core Standards Alignment.

=
This subcommittee should consist of people who love data analysis and have the skills to work with data in Excel spreadsheets. This team will analyze student achievement results by assessment anchors to determine areas of strength and weakness within our current math program. We will use this data analysis as a lens with which we will identify a new program that capitalizes upon our strengths and improve our weaknesses. Note! Members will work with anonymous raw data files where all student and building identifiers are stripped away. The product associated with this task will be a report of the analysis to be shared with the entire committee.======

=
This subcommittee will work with the Math and Science Partnership Group to use evaluation tools to analyze the instructional strengths of each math series the committee will consider for adoption. This team will first engage in a professional development workshop over the summer to learn how to use the tools to evaluate mathematics units. The product associated with this task will be a report that synthesizes the findings of the materials evaluation. The report will be shared with the entire committee.======

School Site Visits Subcommittee
This subcommittee will identify schools that have a history of success with student achievement in mathematics and determine which would be most appropriate to visit. The team will contact schools to request visitations and develop a schedule of these visitations for members. The product associated with this task will be a report of members' reflections on the visits, including pertinent information that relates to our selection and implementation processes. The report will be shared with the entire committee.

=
This subcommittee will research and evaluate computer programs and other supplemental resources to deliver individualized and/or differentiated instruction to students for the purposes of enrichment, reinforcement, and remediation. This team will attend various product demonstrations that may occur on site or via webinar. The product associated with this task will be to share recommendations for supplemental resources to be adopted as a component of the new K-8 math curriculum.======

Additional subcommittees may be formed as needed throughout the adoption process.
