Summary:
|
The High School Math Pilot Committee began meeting spring 2015 and included representatives from all comprehensive high schools, the continuation school, and from several small necessary high schools. After reviewing materials from a variety of vendors, the Committee decided to pilot two textbook programs - Kendell Hunt and Big Ideas from Houghton Mifflin. Each set of materials was piloted for a Quarter (8 weeks), targeted professional development was provided, and survey information was collected from students, parents, and teachers. At the end of the pilot, the Committee met to review the data collected and to advocate for which set of materials they felt best fit the District's needs. The results of the final vote of the Pilot Committee were as follows: Kendell Hunt 28% and Big Ideas 72%. The Committee is recommending that the Big Ideas program (2015 edition) by Houghton Mifflin be approved as the new core textbook for Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Algebra 2/Trig. Copies of the textbook and comment cards are available at the Willow Creek Center for review.
