4 Math units for students entering in 2009 equivalent to or higher than the level of Algebra 2 unless the parent submitted written, signed

permission for the student to complete a lesser math unit

Algebra 1 offered in Grade 8 by 2008-9 in regular classroom settings or through on-line courses or agreements with high schools.

The Promise of these New Requirements:Students better prepared

for the college and workplace (21st Century Jobs)!

High School Redesign (SB561)

Supports for 4 years of Math

American Diploma Project (ADP) New 9-12 aligned Standards

Summer Math & Science Institutes Federally-funded Math & Science

Partnerships (MSP) Strategic Action Plan for Math & Science

ped.state.nm.us/div/math_science/dl/MathSciStrategicPlan fv.pdf “Statewide voluntary math curriculum”

Statewide Voluntary Math Curriculum

Does NOT replace currently selected textbooks!

Is a “toolkit” of materials that will include Prerequisite Skill Items Higher Order Thinking Skills Items Sample Activities Assessment Items from NAEP and/or

TIMSS Sample Lesson Plans

Uniform Curriculum in Districts (HB911)-school district’s math, language arts, and

science curricula and related professional development must align to state standards for each grade level so that students who transfer between public schools within the school district receive the same educational opportunity

-Math in SY 2008-9

-LA and Science in SY 2009-10

Supports for 4 Years of Math

Supports for 4 Years of Math

Algebra 1 in Grade 8 This year about 60% of middle schools

are offering Algebra 1 Almost 20% of G8 students are taking

Algebra 1 G7 Math NMSBA Proficiency Levels of Students Taking Algebra in G8 in 2006-7

1 2 3 4 7% 41% 44% 8% Note: statewide only 23% were at level 3 or 4

Challenges for 4 Years of Math

More students entering high school better prepared for math

Courses and other supports for students who not prepared for high school math

Ensure that increased requirements don’t lead to “watered-down” courses ADP Model Courses

More Challenges for 4 Years of Math

Identify options for a 4th course More well-trained math teachers Expand post-secondary role in offering

courses to high school students Develop Distance Ed - Cyber Academy

courses Clarify role of Advanced Placement

Mandated High School Assessments

Senate Bill 561 The readiness assessment system shall include

the following components (by ’08-09):(1) a high school readiness assessment in English,

reading, math and science in the fall semester of G9;

(2) a college readiness assessment in English, reading and math in G10; and

(3) a workplace readiness assessment to assess applied skills in reading, math and locating info in G11.

Current high school grad exam sunsets on July 1, 2010

Implementing the Assessments G9

G9: Locally administered Diagnostic Assessment (High School Readiness)

Provide tools/data for teachers to support instruction & for administrators to monitor student progress

G8 NMSBA forms basis for starting pt of the diagnostics process

Administered in Fall & thruout year Computerized combo of NMSBA & diagnostic

assessments State funds for implementing the program In 2008-9 in both G9 and G10

Implementing the Assessments G10

G10: State-administered SBA (College Readiness)

Measures student mastery of Standards

Current G9&G11 will be replaced w/ G10 SBAs in Math & English

Science & Soc Stu will remain in G11 Will serve for both accountability (AYP) &

graduation Link to ACT, SAT, etc.

Implementing the Assessments G11

G11: Locally administered Workplace Portfolio (Workplace/Post Sec Readiness)

Assess student readiness for post-secondary ed & the workplace

Allows for different paths for different careers Aligned to NM Career Clusters Electronic w/ fixed categories & some required

content Multiple measures (Next Step Plans for planning):

ACT/SAT, WorkKeys, projects, workplace perfor-mance, EOC exams, AP scores, leadership, grades

Tests for Graduation

Current tests go away on July 1, 2010 Replacements?

New G10 Math and English (chance to repeat in G11 if failed)

Science and Soc Stu may continue in G11Portfolio if continued failure??
