What’s coming…
• No integrated mathematics curriculum – we
will remain with the traditional approach
• No changes in math textbooks for 2014-2015
• Curriculum will be supplemented and
supported to meet any changes in standards
• Currently encouraging teachers to reflect
upon their practices and incorporate the 8
Standards of Mathematical Practice
8 Standards for Mathematical Practice

Testing 2013-2014
• At PVPHS preliminary SBAC testing will
happen in April – scores will not be reported
– all 9th graders will participate in only ELA
this year
• 10th Graders will still take the CAHSEE –
current pass rate for 1st time is 98-99%
• 11th Graders in Algebra 2 or above will still
take the CST test for mathematics, they will
also take the EAP portion of the test
http://www.csusuccess.org/eap
Future Testing….
• Testing at the high school level with be done through
SBAC and will be 11th grade only starting in 20142015
• CAHSEE next year – possibly still administered to 10th
grade students
• EAP for 11th graders may still be in place next year
but will eventually be replaced with SBAC Testing
• Middle schools will test students in 6th, 7th, and 8th
grades through SBAC starting next year
What else is happening?
• Increased dialogue with teachers from elementary
through high school mathematics
• Algebra 1 will no longer be considered an 8th grade
level class by Common Core pacing – a large
percentage of our students will still take Algebra 1 in
8th grade
• Focus on applications, cooperative work, more
statistics, and a deeper understanding of material
• To do this we still need to concentrate on a
comprehensive understanding of the basics
• Changes to future pathways will still offer multiple
pathways and areas for advancement
