"I am encouraged by the response you are getting from students -- we all know that student engagement is half the battle. Though its tough to do, are you considering what student achievement data you can use to show success?"During our group meeting at the PC3 Math/CTE workshop last week, we discussed how we could start gathering achievement data. We will be looking at grades in their concurrent math class (Algebra and Geometry), grades in the Enhanced CTE class, WASL scores, attendance data, etc. It will be difficult to make direct correlations, but we will be looking at trends and comparisons on past performance.

Several folks have asked for an outline for the AMR course. We will try to post one on our website shortly: www.project-time.org .

I do think we are creating an opportunity for sustainability. We're maintaining a close connection with the work of the Riverpoint Partnership for Math and Science (RPMS), and hope to form a collaborative effort with them and the local ESD in the next year. Our symposium this year focused on sharing out information on state and local initiatives in math education, collaboratively sharing and creating strategies promoting the student attributes, promoting our high school OutReach program and giving The RiverPoint Partnership an opportunity to share and promote that work. The community-building forum of the symposium was very well received by the participants. Currently we're discussing collaborative efforts with RPMS and the local ESD to use the community and the forum to create Professional Learning Communities within departments and districts that will also include people from post-secondary schools. I also believe the connections established between schools and the positive, informed dialogue being promoted has begun to influence curriculum decisions at the K-12 and post-secondary level.
