Problems with Changing Curriculum <br /> Immediate fall in scores hypothetically due to: <br /> • Conflict with prior methods (Everyday Math long division algorithm) <br /> • Teachers unfamiliar with new curriculum <br /> Take the case of Cohort 2017 whose decline started with the introduction of Everyday Math and who's <br /> crash was coincidental with their introduction to Connected Math. The conclusions are clouded by the <br /> turnover in the MMS Math Dept. <br /> Quashnet A\g. <br /> Cohort\Grade 3 4 5 6 7 8All non EM EM <br /> 2007 <br /> 2008 <br /> 2009 0.79 <br /> 2010 0.80 <br /> 2011 0.91 0.96 <br /> 2012 1.20 0.74 0.89 1.20 1.20 <br /> 2013 0.68 0.88 0.80 0.58 0.68 0.79 0.79 <br /> 2014 0.67 0.82 0.79 0.72 0.75 0.756 0.786 <br /> 2015 0.87 1.15 1.01 1.02 0.82 - O.ai 1.009 1.009 <br /> 2016 1.20 0.83 0.86 I'� 0>92 D.63 0.63 0.951 0.963 0.915 <br /> 2017 0.89 094 ;0:78�i 0 87 0.54 -0.35 0.854 0.911 0.797 <br /> 2018 1.21 �` .i 13 t0�99 1' '�0�:97 0.96 1.073 1.212 1.027 <br /> m.- ., r, <br /> 2019 1 08 t0 92`�Y'0!:86 ' ;0; 9 0.917 1.081 0.863 <br /> 2020 1 8*4, j06 D;87 1.001 1.001 <br /> 2021 113 1fQa 1.104 1.104 <br /> 2022 1.061 1.061 <br /> Avg .- 1.06 0.94 0.88 0.91 0.74 0.74 0.97 0.99 0.97 <br /> Aog non EM 1.05 0.90 0.87 0.94 0.75 0.81 <br /> 1g M&CMP ako 7,' .;ivoas 1osae0;872 0,709 0:594 <br /> StdDev-all 0.13 0.18 0.08 0.15 0.15 0.18 <br /> Stdev non EM 0.17 0.21 0.09 017 0.12 0.09 <br /> t<teyE�ABC.M 0'03 009 U:QB an 0.22 0.23 <br /> The data presented is the fraction of students achieving proficient or higher in the MCAS divided, or <br /> normalized by the state average fraction. The table shows some interesting facts about Everyday Math. <br /> 3rd grade -6th Grade improvement 3.5%, 16.4, 0.9%, -7.2%meaning that the average improvement <br /> over 4 grades in 4 years is about+3.5%. Remember this is normalization to the state average which <br /> is hardly that of a high performance school district. <br /> The argument in favor of Everyday Math is that the fraction of proficient plus is increasing. The 3rd <br /> grade score is 24%higher than the 6th grade score which would indicate that the longer the exposure to <br /> the curriculum, the higher the performance. <br /> Conclusions <br /> Educator's Guide What Works in Teaching Math?
