  1. Data for Elementary Math Interventions (10:05-10:25 - Rebecca Lewis)

Discussion by districts in small groups of what is happening in K-5 for math interventions. On the website, there are a couple of resources: 1) NCTM recommendation/guideline for creating or selecting intervention programs; and 2) RtI Math Resource Guide – page 11 has a checklist for carrying out 8 recommendations for RtI Math.

Here are the ideas shared by the table groups related to math assessments and structure of intervention time:

•1/2 class goes to PE/1/2 with teacher

•XL (online)

•Math facts

•Re-teach sessions

•Jiji

•iREADY

•Extended day classes 3 days a week

•Credentialed retired teachers reteach needed areas

•Middle school- catch up math

•Wowzers

•Sum Dog

•Math Edge from Let’s Go Learn

•Moby Max

•Reteaching

In addition, there will be a Math Pilot Discussion – March 19th from 3:30-5:30 at SCOE. The hope is that teachers who have piloted and districts who have purchased elementary math materials will come together and share the strengths and weaknesses of each program for the benefit of districts who are in the process of adopting math instructional materials. For more information, contact Jennifer Baker or Rebecca Lewis.
