  1. Transitions to Common Core atMiddle and High School Lodi Unified School District December 10, 2013

  2. Transitions in MathematicsFall 2013 • Math realignment and possible pathways presented to the teachers and administrators at spring PLC • 7-12 math departments receive professional development in realignment of skills and standards due to Common Core and possible pathways • Math departments took practice SBAC test

  3. Fall/Spring 2013-14 • Piloting of materials at middle and high schools • Core Connections • Math Vision Project • Carnegie Math • MARS Task • Math 180 • District joins Silicon Valley Math Initiative

  4. October/November 2013 • Presented math realignment and possible pathways to the 7-12 Best Practices Committee • Decision made to transition to International Integrated Pathway • Ordered sample instructional materials

  5. Middle School offerings for 2014-15 • Common Core 7 and 8 • Intervention course • No Accelerated pathway at middle school

  6. High School Offerings for 2014-15 • Continue Traditional Pathway for students in grades 10-12 • Begin International Integrated Pathway for incoming ninth grade student

  7. International Integrated Pathway for Incoming Ninth Grade Students • Common Core – Course One • Intervention Courses • Enhanced pathway – Honors Courses • Current eighth grade students enrolled in Geometry will enroll in Common Core Course Two

  8. December 2013 - March 2014 Application for Mathematics Review Committee distributed Mathematics Review Committee • Develop district lens • Reviews materials • Makes selection

  9. April 2014 • Recommendation to Curriculum Council and Board of Education • Submit requisition for purchase

  10. July – December 2014Professional Development Teachers receive 3-4 days of professional development • Materials overview • In class instructional support – Coaching Completed through release time or timecard

  11. Transition at Middle School Schedule Change Staff is proposing to change middle schools from a 7 period day to a 6 period day. Currently, the middle schools have a two period block of Language Arts/Reading taught by one teacher. The change would be to one period of English. Students in READ 180 will still be in a two period block.

  12. Periods would change from approximately 45 minutes each to 54 minutes allowing more time for Math, Social Science and Science. • Common Core emphasizes reading and writing in the content areas. • Teachers would be teaching 5 periods a day instead of 6, therefore they would have less students assigned to them and the ability to make more connections with their students.

  13. Currently teachers in the CORE areas (except Reading/Language Arts) are assigned approximately 204 students each. This would change to approximately 165 students daily • English teachers at the middle schools may be reduced. English teachers currently teach approximately 100 students a day. This would increase to 165 with this change • English teachers will continue to teach a blocked READ 180 class and may teach an exploratory courses LEA has been involved in the discussion to move to a six period day. It is anticipated there will be no lay off of teachers due to attrition and transfers
