Grade 9-12 Math Course Sequencing and How to Improve Student Success for the Indiana Core 40 and New GPS Diplomas
Do you struggle with which high school math course sequence, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 or Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, is best for your students?
Is your screening process for placement in a student's initial math course helping your students succeed?
Do you have students struggling to complete their Core 40 math requirements by passing Algebra 2?
Do you want more students taking higher level math classes beyond Algebra 2?
Join Bill Reed as he lays out ways to increase student success in Algebra 2 by integrating simple steps like ordering math courses and including more Algebra skills in Geometry. Learn how to create a strategic screening process for student placement in their initial high school math class. We will also model how effective teachers use a variety of question types to assess and gather evidence of student thinking and learn how this will improve your teaching effectiveness. How to utilize current IDOE math course offerings to help your students complete the required Indiana Core 40 math courses and fulfill their greatest potential will be presented.

Congratulations to Richard Goodall, Terre Haute, Indiana, who received the highly coveted Golden Buzzer on the May 28th episode of "America's Got Talent" for his incredible performance of "Don’t Stop Believin’" by Journey.
“He is the janitor at my twins school, West Vigo. They were screaming and crying tears of happiness for Mr. Richard last night with their friends, I was right there with them, as was the entire Vigo County community! We are SO excited for him! It couldn’t happen for a more humble and kind man, he is so deserving of this. Can’t wait for America to see what we Hautian peeps have had the pleasure of seeing for two decades.
LETS GO MR RICHARD.”
