Acceleration

egenis3 — 2025-09-18 16:13:52 UTC

Would it be best to look at the essential standards in terms of mastery for acceleration, or the standards as a whole set? What would be a good benchmark of mastery? 75%/80%?

What should we be doing instead of gradual release?

It was mentioned during the Essential Standards Workshop that ADE will release info about essential standards. When will the assessment department release information about which essential standard(s) AASA will focus on this year?

algebra 2

What about the standards of algebra 2- how have those changed and how do we need to prepare the kids who are finishing algebra 1 in middle school?

Can you clarify the difference between green standards and "reporting" standards on the essential standards docs?

Do you have guidance how 6-8 teacher must be qualified to teach Alg 1?

As a 6th grade teacher our students come from 5th grade as parents want them to skip and begin middle school in 7th or 8th grade math class. Any docs research to help provide parents?

MathEdTech — 2025-09-18 20:29:37 UTC

How do you recommend teaching the Essential Standards for Math in a combined class of 6th and 7th graders?
