District staff present Carnegie math scope and sequence; administration credits professional development
Summary
Teachers and instructional coaches summarized the district's work developing the Carnegie math scope and sequence and described professional development intended to increase engagement and rigor; the superintendent said the program is expected to produce long-term positive outcomes for students.
District instructional staff presented a curricular highlight on the district's adoption and scope-and-sequence work for the Carnegie math resource at the March 6 board meeting. Teachers from Rutledge Hall and Todd Hall, with district instructional coaches and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Dominick M. Lupo, reviewed professional development the staff received and described how changes to scope and sequence are intended to support greater engagement and rigor in classrooms.
Superintendent Dr. David L. Russo thanked the instructional team for implementation work and said, "We believe that this new program will result in long-term positive outcomes for students' math development." The presentation was framed as an update rather than a formal vote item; trustees received the report as part of District Recognition and had the opportunity to ask questions in committee and staff follow-ups will continue.
