(1) Statewide coaching expansion (Grades K-12). The department shall place coaches in Grades K-12, with priority in Grades 2 through 6 to provide on-site and virtual coaching cycles, modeling, PLC facilitation, data meetings, administrator walk-throughs using MIOP, and family math resources. Coaching shall be organized by grade band to include elementary (K–6) and secondary (7–12) and may include college- and career-readiness coaches to align mathematics with workforce pathways and statewide assessments.
(2) K–5 Mathematics screening and intervention protocol. The department shall develop and adopt a K–5 Mathematics Screener with well-defined scores and skill maps, in order to assist with implementing IMPs for students below benchmark, training teachers and administrators, and implementing periodic progress monitoring.
(3) Grade 5 Algebra-Readiness Indicator. The Grade 5 Statewide Mathematics Assessment cut score designated by the department shall be used for the Algebra-Readiness Indicator. The district shall develop IMPs for students below the indicator prior to middle school mathematics. The department may develop crosswalks and training to support intervention pathways based on students’ Grade 5 results.
(4) Professional development system. The department shall implement ongoing regional training, virtual courses and school-based professional development cycles providing lesson guides, teacher-facing supports and assessment references aligned to HQIMs and effective mathematics teaching practices.
