Math Adoption
Meeting

Agenda
• Welcome, time guidelines, meeting protocol
• Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of Human
Resources, Employee Relations/General Counsel
• Community Math Night Report
• Student and Parent Survey Observations
• Teacher Survey Observations
• Pilot Assessment Data Observations
• Fist to Five
District Mission
• To provide every student
with a top-of-the-line
college preparatory
education so that they can
enter and succeed in the
college or university of
their choice.
Our Purpose
• The committee will select either the Holt or
Discovering textbook series for Algebra 1,
Geometry, and Algebra 2. The decision
will be made by consensus based upon
the objective evidence gathered during the
adoption process.
• Target date for the decision: March 2010
Reminders from our first meeting
• We are adopting instructional materials that
will be the base for our curriculum (the
textbook is not our curriculum).
• All decisions are made based on sound
research, what is in the best interests of our
students and align with our district mission
and core values.
• Please keep an open mind throughout the
process.

Comparing the materials:
looking at balance, cognitive demand and
accessibility of materials
How much math and which courses
students take?
 Students must not lack access to higherlevel mathematics courses.
 “This (lack of access) is unacceptable in
the face of the ever-expanding technical
demands posed by higher education and
the 21st-century job market.”
 BSD has made progress in both minority
math enrollment and the number taking
higher –level math courses … but we must
do more.

Discussion and Review our
Decision Plan
“Do you feel that you have enough information about the
two instructional materials to make an informed
recommendation to the Instructional Materials
Committee?”
Fist
I am 100% confident that I am not ready to vote and need a lot more
information.
1 Finger
I still need to discuss certain issues.
2 Fingers
I am more comfortable but would like to discuss some minor issues.
3 Fingers
I’m not completely confident but feel comfortable to vote without further
discussion.
4 Fingers
I have a few hesitations, but I’m ready to vote.
5 Fingers
I’m 100% confident that I have all the information I need and I am ready to
vote.
If anyone holds up fewer than three fingers, they should be given the
opportunity to state their objections, what more information they need and the
team should address their concerns.
