Realizing the Need for Change
School corporation hires an SREB consultant
Negative feelings from the math department initially
Realization that there were no other options and we had nothing to lose
Math department became a team and began to work together and accept the change
The Turning PointAs a result of working with the SREB
representative, we began to changeMost significant change – leave the
textbooks “behind” and let the standards dictate the curriculum
Math department met often to reorganize the standards
Looked at every standard and put them in an order that would benefit the students the most
