What this document actually says

This document tracks the Reed Union School District's Math Task Force action plan to improve math instruction PreK-8th grade. Key accomplishments include: piloting two new math curriculums with 13 teachers (K-5) in 2024/25, with unanimous recommendation to adopt Amplify Desmos Math; purchasing Math 180 for special education students; training 33 teachers in Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI); providing Tier 2 math intervention to approximately 143 students across three schools; and planning project-based learning training for summer 2024. The plan addresses curriculum adoption, intervention services, teacher coaching, assessment alignment, and instructional practices. Budget allocations include $50K for curriculum pilots, $80K for intervention services, and approximately $100K annually for a math teacher on special assignment position.

What this means for your family

Your child will likely use a new math curriculum (Amplify Desmos Math) starting in 2025-26 that emphasizes problem-solving and hands-on learning. Students needing extra help receive math intervention 3-5 times weekly in 20-minute sessions. Teachers are receiving training in newer teaching methods focused on critical thinking. Homework practices may become more consistent across schools. Middle school students continue using current assessments (MAP, IXL) for placement decisions.
