Staff describe "Einstein math" program as part of push to lift math outcomes
Summary
Board heard about a schoolwide Einstein Math initiative to build fluency in facts, targeted RTI groups for math, and plans for potential ReadyMath professional development to raise math achievement.
District staff told the board they are increasing focus on math fluency and RTI interventions to address persistent math gaps. "It's called Einstein math, and every kid K–5 is participating every single day in trying to learn their addition, subtraction, and multiplication and division facts," a staff presenter said.
Staff reported moving 74 students into on‑grade‑level math and 50 students out of the 'strategic' tier at midyear; they outlined plans to review materials and possibly use deeper ReadyMath professional development rather than buying a new supplemental program. The board discussed targeting three essential skills per grade and using RTI groups built around specific skill gaps.
Board members requested follow‑up on which materials and PD will be used and reiterated the need to track growth to the district's goals.
