Why Accelerated Math For Elementary Students

Editor's Notes

  1. Other schools in ASD have shown gains with this computer based program Have made a significant $ commitment to it here.
  2. I’m a fan of EM, but understand many are not. Difference may be in how it is taught.
  3. Talk about Heather refusal & 25% to passing
  4. Core teachers cannot make time to fill each child’s knowledge holes. AM allows up to do that without taking time away from the necessary core instruction.
  5. Give the test with the rolling labs. Takes less than one class period.
  6. Almost all you will have to do to get started is hand out materials. Waiting to see what we do with 8th graders. You may offer as a team elective if you want.
  7. You should initial reports for tracking purposes. Even if you are too busy to look at it, they will have something to do -- the next practice.
  8. 1st step with problems ought to be to look in the resource books. Cover test procedures.
  9. My schedule will be … Show box
