Background
|
Beginning the 2020-21 school year, Zearn, a K-5 digital math program was utilized to improve teaching and learning in a virtual environment. This year, an additional math resource, Illustrative Math, was piloted. A committee of elementary teachers, principals, and coaches provided feedback and have made a recommendation for a long-term adoption.

Summary:
|
This presentation will provide an update on learning acceleration priorities for mathematics teaching and learning. One strategy used to support learning acceleration is utilizing a high quality resource. Through a pilot of both Zearn and Illustrative Math, staff have been engaged in a process to recommend a program for a long-term adoption that supports the learning acceleration goals and best practices for instruction. Administration will share information about the pilot, the resources, and plans to support staff with an adoption. All community members that provide feedback on Illustrative Math will receive a phone call from a member of the Educational Services Department, and the feedback will be shared with the Board of Education.
