Need to have a clear process that takes place in the spring/summer not the fall so that students can prepare if accelerated.
Should D65 explore supplements to Everyday Math and Connected Math, eg, DreamBox, ST Math, IXL.
Utilize best ed-tech tools available in classroom and at home, especially programs that are not as language heavy as Everyday Math.
How can educational technology tools be used in classroom for math strugglers or achievers?
