Mathematics
Goal: Develop the capacities of all stakeholders to implement California's Math Standards and eliminate the persistent, predictable opportunity gaps between students of color and caucasian students as evidenced by CAASPP, MARS, Interim Assessments, and/or District Benchmark Assessments. Utilize strategies to develop more positive math mindsets for students, and focus on more Equitable and Engaging Teaching for all student groups (especially linguistically and culturally diverse language learners) as recommended by California's new Math Framework (expected May 2022).
