Academic Excellence Strategies 1 Implement learning acceleration strategies and programming. Academic Excellence Strategies 3 Develop implementation resources aligned with our Portrait of a Graduate.

Background
|
The Vision 2026 strategic plan includes a strategy of implementing learning acceleration and programming. One of the tactics of this strategy is to adopt and support the resources in K-8 academic core areas. This includes mathematics. This year, middle school math teachers piloted two high quality instructional materials and selected one to recommend to the Board of Education. Elementary PACE teachers have also participated in a yearlong pilot of Illustrative Math's Accelerated Course 1 for grade 5 students.

Summary:
|
After engaging in a pilot of two materials, middle school staff recommend Illustrative Math for Math 6, 7 and 8. Elementary PACE and middle school FastPACE math teachers recommend Illustrative Math Accelerated Course 1 and 2 for grade 5 and 6 FastPACE courses. The scope and sequence of Accelerated Courses 1 and 2 allow students to be fully prepared for Algebra I in grade 7. On Wednesday evening, the 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.
