Know?

Why Did We Take On This Project?

• Trouble retaining students
• Falling behind in math credits
• When we started, students needed to pass the BST
  math test
• Instructor were already teaching math,
• didnt realize how it related to the
• students math classes

What Did We DoHow Did We Accomplish It?

• Started over 3 years ago in Auto Technician
  (Summer of 2007)
• With Auto Tech teacher, we went through the state
  math standards
• Erick explained the math standards and Pete(auto
  tech teacher) gave examples from the world of
  automotive

Setbacks / Silver Lining

• Our initial goal was to get a math credit
• Found out requirements, talked to member districts

12
Transition from BST to GRAD

• When first started project, the test to pass was
  BST
• Then the GRAD test came along, and required an
  intervention to take the test again
• All programs covered a lot of areas of the GRAD
  test ?

13
Two-Pronged Approach to GRAD Intervention (09-
10)

• Targeted Computer Based Intervention 2x/ week
• E2020
• Advancer
• Integrated Curriculum

14
Need Validation

• Needed validation for intervention
• Contextualized pre/post test for 4 programs

15
Results of Pre/Post Tests 09 - 10
16
Expansion for 10 11

• Perkins grant for full-time math coach
• Include more programs
• Shift focus from GRAD GRAD and
  
• Accuplacer

17
Expansion for 10 11

• VICTORY Vocab to Integrate in Coursework
  Together Yearlong
• 29 Generic SMARTBoard Lessons
• All programs take sample Accuplacer instead of
  contextualized math tests

18
Challenges

• Changing the Culture
• Validation

19
Response From Member Districts

• Over half of our 10 districts currently consider
  Connies Design Interactive Media class an GRAD
  math intervention
