The Summer Curriculum Institute continued this summer with the focus on mathematics. Funded by the Peabody Foundation, teachers Andy Lindblad, Sejal Costa, John Meredith, and Jeanine Meredith have been hard at work for five weeks, dedicating their time exclusively to mathematics curriculum research.
Their task has been to design a program that will help our teachers differentiate math instruction. Their efforts will lead to the creation of some helpful new lessons, but more importantly, a clear direction about how the lessons work together. This group hopes to continue the great work of past SCI groups over the years, whose efforts have already shaped our science and literacy curricula.
Check out the video below, where Sejal and Andy talk about the program's scope and sequence, which connects to our common core. The SCI will present their work to the rest of the staff at the end of the summer, which will directly impact our math instruction this coming fall!
