| Item Title: | Santa Barbara Unified School District Recommendation for an Integrated Math Pathway | | Agenda Title: | Santa Barbara Unified School District Recommendation for an Integrated Math Pathway | | Background: | The Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) has spent 1.5 years researching, investigating, and learning about the CCSS expectations for math instruction and curriculum. The learning process involved the utilization of expertise from a variety of resources (SBCEO, CDE, CCSS math conferences, UCSB math department, SBUSD math teachers).
The mechanism by which math teachers were able to learn, get clarification, and voice their opinions was through the PLC process. Based on the 1.5 years of research and discussion, 85% of the secondary school sites voted for the integrated pathway and as a result I am making a recommendation for SBUSD to adopt the integrated math pathway. | | Recommendation: | That the Board of Education adopt the integrated math pathway. | | Resource Person: | Dr. Ben Drati, Assistant Superintendent, Secondary Education | | Fiscal Impact: | N/A | | Funding Source: | |
