HIGH SCHOOL MATH (AGA) CORE CURRICULUM AND LAB CURRICULUM   3

DoDEA requires off-the-shelf instructional materials for students and teachers for three core courses: Algebra I (including Middle School Accelerated Math 8/Algebra I), Geometry, and Algebra II and three elective intervention (lab) courses: Algebra I lab, Geometry lab, and Math lab III, all of which are aligned to the CCRS-Mathematics. DoDEA requires an intensive mathematics intervention program (individual, small group and/or whole group instruction to meet student needs) with the goal of building proficiency levels from below grade level to the expected grade level performance for struggling math students. The purpose of the intervention program is to provide explicit, systematic interactive instruction between the teacher and student accelerating learning from below-level understanding to expected end-of-year standards mastery. Intervention resources must support students in acquiring and/or sharpening the requisite skills they need to increase their mathematical thinking and computational skills. The intensive mathematics intervention program will supplement not supplant the core instructional materials, which are utilized daily. The intensive mathematics intervention program will support learners that are at least a half year below grade-level expectations and is essential for meeting the needs of all learners to become College and Career Ready. The instructional materials include print and digital resources and include formative and summative assessments. The core instructional resources must be print, digital only is not sufficient. The main instruction for the core instructional resources should not require a digital component. The three lab courses, Algebra 1 Lab, Geometry Lab, and Math Lab III must be aligned to the CCRSM, which are identical to the Common Core State Standards, Mathematics (CCSSM). Professional learning to implement the program with fidelity and throughout the Base Years of contract needs to be available.
