opportunities for HS students by fall 2008 (includes AP/IB as well as dual credit)
Institutions of higher education are directed to assist
July, 2006
HB1
New graduation requirements include research writing and 4 courses in the four foundation subjects (ELA, SS, Math, and Science) in the Recommended High School Program and the Distinguished Achievement Program

July, 2006
Recommended HS PlanFreshmen entering 2007-08
4 years of mathematics: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II +
SBOE is proposing that the 4th year be a course for which Algebra II is a prerequisite
July, 2006
State Board of Education Motion for first reading at September 14th SBOE Meeting:
The SBOE will consider increasing credits for the RHSP and the DAP from 24 to 26
Mathematics requirements for RHSP and DAP will include Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II and an additional approved Math course for which Algebra II is a prerequisite.
July, 2006
State Board of Education Motion for first reading at September 14th SBOE Meeting:
Staff was also asked to present a recommendation for inclusion of an Engineering course for math and or science.
Staff will also have to present a plan for adopting TEKS for new math and science courses.
Science for RHSP and DAP will include Biology, Chemistry and Physics and an additional approved laboratory-based science course for which these three required science courses are prerequisites.
July, 2006

Recommended High School Program for all
2004-2005 freshman class is the 1st group of students that must graduate with the current RHSPAlgebra I, Geometry, Algebra IIJuniors in 06-07 (this coming school year)
Districts may place students on the minimal plan only with committee approval
These decisions should not be made until the student is about to enter the Junior yearDecisions should be based on individual circumstances
July, 2006
Considerations for Algebra II
Algebra II should not be used as a TAKS prep courseUndermines the intent of the legislature
Algebra II has only one PEIMS number
All TEKS for Algebra II must be taught to all studentsAlgebra II TEKS are non-negotiable
July, 2006
Considerations for Algebra II
Tracking is NOT encouraged
The intent is a rigorous Algebra II course that will ensure student success in College Algebra or the workforce without needing remedial classes
July, 2006
Current Recommended HS Plan
Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II as the 3rd math credit
What happens to the course: Mathematical Models with Applications?
July, 2006
Mathematical Models with Applications
MMA course and TEKS are NOT GOING AWAY
MMA TEKS integrates Algebra I and HS Geometry content
MMA provides a “bridge” course for students to be successful in Algebra II
July, 2006
MMA provides a “bridge” course for success in Algebra II
ISDs use many different models/configurations to ensure their students’ success in Algebra II
MMA is a course that can have tremendous acceleration results through modeling when the appropriate curriculum is offered to educators and students
July, 2006
MMA provides a “bridge” course for success in Algebra II
One example is ESC Region 4: they work with many districts who have been successful with this type of curriculumStudents concurrently enrolled in Algebra II and MMAStudents enrolled in MMA to prepare for success in
Algebra II as seniors
Many of your ESC math specialists have attended this curriculum training and are excellent resources
July, 2006
Support for TEKS Implementation
Professional Development modules are being created to assist teachers in the implementation of the refined math TEKS.
Teaching the Math TEKS thru Technology (TMT3) Math TEKS Refinement (MTR) Math TEKS Connections (MTC) Maximizing Algebra II Performance (MAP)
Texas Regional Math Collaboratives have received grants to provide these professional development modules to teachers.
July, 2006
Teaching Math TEKS Through Technology (TMT3)
Developed by: Texas A&M Commerce and Education Service Center Region 4
Centered on effective technology, aligned to the TEKS, that will facilitate teaching mathematics.
Middle School, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry modules.
Teacher lessons, student lessons, and tutorials.
Includes Integration of the middle school Technology Application TEKS.
Ask your ESC or district math specialist for training dates.
Ask your Education Service Center for training dates.
July, 2006
Math TEKS Refinement (MTR) modules
Developed by: A team of mathematics faculty at Tarleton State University and classroom teachers.
Math TEKS were refined in 2005. This project is focused on the changes to the TEKS and provides teacher and student lessons to implement the changes.
K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Ask your local Education Service Center or district math specialist for training dates.
July, 2006
Math TEKS Connections Modules (MTC)
Educate teachers about the inherent alignment between concepts and their connections to other concepts or big ideas vertically within a grade band as well as other strands within the grade level.
MTC being developed in partnership with TEA, Texas A&M University, and Education Service Centers, Region 4 and 13.
Available to teachers late summer 2007 and fall 2007.
July, 2006
MTC Project Development Modules
K-2: TAMU & Region 133-5: TAMU & Region 46-8: TAMU & Region 49-12: TAMU & Region 4Administrator modules: TAMU & Region 4
3 hour session will target the administrator’s knowledge of math concepts connections, an effective coaching model, questioning strategies, and the 5E model.
July, 2006
Maximizing Algebra II Performance (MAP) Professional Development Modules
Collaborative project between TAMU and Region IV
Incorporates hands-on, engaging experiences for all learners through a functions-based approach to Algebra II.
This project will be an extension of concepts covered in the MTC project and will address different function families than those covered in MTC.
Available to teachers late summer and fall 2007.
July, 2006
Regional Collaboratives for Excellence in Teaching Math
TEA, in partnership with the
Office of Texas Regional Collaboratives for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching, UT Austin,
has issued 20 grant awards for Math Collaboratives next school year, 2006-2007.
July, 2006
“Math Collaboratives”
The purpose of these grants is to improve the academic achievement of students in mathematics by providing
High quality, sustained, and high intensity professional development focused on the education of mathematics teachers as a career-long process.
I.e., math collaboratives will help train teachers on the PD modules currently being developed and disseminated.

Assessing our Curriculum:
TAKS UpdateWhat’s new
All math Tests will be on the TEA Website on July 28th
July, 2006
Release of TAKS Tests
TEA has released student expectations assessed on the 2006 tests. They are posted online.
TEA will release TAKS tests for the 2005-06 school year
Released tests posted online on July 28, 2006
Delivered to districts by August 11th
July, 2006
Eligibility of TEKS for TAKS
The Student Assessment Division of the Texas Education Agency is now able to assure Texas educators that the spring 2007 (and beyond) TAKS math tests will be aligned to the 2005 refined mathematics TEKS for both secondary and elementary. This means that TAKS test items addressing student expectations from the 1997 original math TEKS that are no longer part of the 2005 refined math TEKS will be deleted from our TAKS math item banks. The spring 2007 TAKS math tests will continue to assess eligible content from the 2005 refined math TEKS.
July, 2006
Effects of TEKS Refinements on TAKS Grades 6-11 Exit Level
Spring 2006 tests did not assess skills/concepts that had been removed from the TEKS, i.e. narrower focus, limitations, etc.
Spring 2007 tests may include field test items that assess additional skills/concepts
Spring 2008 tests may include live items (for accountability) that assess additional skills/concepts
July, 2006
Effects of TEKS Refinements on TAKS Grades 3-5
Spring 2007 tests will not assess skills/concepts that have been removed from the TEKS, i.e. narrower focus, limitations, etc.
Spring 2008 tests may include field test items that assess additional skills/concepts
Spring 2009 tests may include live items (for accountability) that assess additional skills/concepts
July, 2006
Elementary Math TAKS Survey
Online survey will be conducted: Aug 1 – Sept 30, 2006
Similar to the one conducted on the refined
