1. Mathematics Course Updates from GaDOE Dec. 2010 ** Updates for transitioning to Common Core ** New course standards/elements are available in Learning Village.

2. Fourth Mathematics Course Options **New course standards/elements are available in Learning Village.

3. Interventions for Students Who Entered 9 th grade in 2008 and in 2009 (Most will be in the Classes of 2012 & 2013) Mathematics Support III is a tier 2 intervention & is offered for core credit. Students who successfully complete Mathematics I, Mathematics II, Mathematics Support III, and Mathematics III will have satisfied the mathematics requirements for graduation.

4. Interventions for Students Who Entered 9 th grade in 2008 and in 2009 Proposed: Mathematics Support I and Mathematics Support II may be treated as elective or core courses. Students who take four years of math and successfully complete Mathematics I and Mathematics II will have satisfied the minimum math requirements for graduation.

6. Secondary Assessment Transition Important: – This proposed plan would not go into effect until the 2011-2012 school year. – High school testing should proceed as planned this year. All grade 11 students should participate in the GHSGT this spring. 2010-2011 AYP will be calculated using the GHSGT. – If the plan is approved, beginning in 2011-2012 AYP will be calculated using the EOCT. Courses to be determined.
