Please refer to our previous reports of problems involving this principal dating back to her experiences at Mitchell. You will also find reference to our protest of her appointment by Dr. Henry Williams whose reason for her appointment appeared to be entirely subjective. I remain, ohn W. Walker JWW:js cc: Ms. Ann Brown Dr. Richard HurleyTHxin FuxHUUnuiii HAMt 02 Dec. 10,2001 Dr. Kathenne Mitchell 1605 Welch St. Little Rock, AR 72206 Dear Dr. Mitchell, For the past three years, Dodd Elementary has been the recipient of the Comprehensive School Reform Development grant awarded by the Arkansas Department of Education on a competitive basis. This grant totaled $150,000.00 and has been used to restructure our Early Literacy and Technology Literacy programs. The following is valuable information for you to consider as you address LRSD budget cuts and school closings. Implementation of the CSRD grant at Dodd Elementary has tremendously impacted both the educational and physical environment at Dodd. The resources provided by the grant have allowed us to create a literacy rich environment, provide quality staff development and expand the opportunities for parents/guardians to be involved in their childs learning. The environment of the K-2 classrooms looks different. Students are not found in rows of desks but at tables with their baskets of books reading at DEAR time or familiar reading time. They are working independently in their centers while the teacher works with small groups for guided reading and writing. They manipulate letter cards to make their spelling words and learn how words work. They are mvolved in Writers Workshop where they learn to write, edit and publish their original works. It is apparent that kids now enjoy reading. Visitors, parents and staff can readily see how much the students are reading and writing. Student displays include rough drafts, editing and published works. Student technology projects are readily visible. Test scores are beginning to show' improvements in reading and language arts The staff development has impacted the educational environment at Dodd. Teachers through their ELLA, Effective Literacy and technology training have become more confident in changing instructional practices to provide more effective ways of meeting the needs of all their students. Team meetings give teachers a chance to share whats working in the classroom, to view tapes, discuss ideas heard at conferences or from current research, and work on implementing the strategics. The team meetings have helped build teacher collaboration. Lunchtime conversations now center on student successes rather than complaints about what they cant do! The grant resources for technology have been successful both in changing teacher attitude and increasing student output. By shifting the focus to the classroom units of study, teachers have been more receptive to include technology as part of their daily teaching Ms Bumgardner, our technology consultant from Seattle, Washington, has guided the students to become more confident with the software applications and more independent in completing their projects. The r Hi I n ivuMuunuxi''\u0026lt; e-mail communication between Ms. Bumgardner and the Dodd staff and students allows for ongoing support. The grant resources have allowed teachers to have the books and needed supplies to change the delivery of the language arts instruction. Because of the resources and staff development, the teachers were receptive to working with a Literacy Coach who set up first grade model classrooms in 2001. This year the Literacy Coach is setting up second grade model classrooms. She also conducts weekly team meetings during lunch or after school for both K-1 teachers and 2\"^ grade teachers. She provides demonstration lessons for guided reading, assisted writing and writers workshop as part of the on-site staff development. Dodd was able to include a Literacy Coach in our ELLA program because we had Reading Recovery in place. Dodd Elementary has been selected by UALR for the past 4 years as a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader-in-Training site. We have been successful in having parents/guardians attend the workshops provided through the grant resources. Parents have attended the annual Pig-Out on Books, Science Fair Workshop. Family Technology Night and Write Night. We are constantly amazed at the turnout compared to evening meetings held in prior years. Parents have voiced their appreciation of the quality and variety of workshops whether its a puppet show or learning how to do a science fair project. Please find attached Readiness Scores indicating our growth in Literacy for grades K-2 and 5* grade SAT9. Note that\n 82.8% of Dodds second grade students scored at TRL 24 LRSD average of 75.4/o  73.5% of Dodds first grade students scored at TRL 16 or average of 64.0%  80% of Dodds Kindergarten students scored at TRL 2 or or above compared with the above compared with LRSD above which was the LRSD average.  Over the past 2 years the gap between K-2 black and white students has become negligible (please see page 32 in attachments)  The disparity gap is also closing in 5* grade in language on the SAT9 Fifth grade black students growth was from 30 to 55 over the last 5 years\nthe growth for fifth grade white students was from 33 to 52. We hope this information will assist you in making this difficult decision. Dodd has an outstanding K-5 literacy and technology program in place due to the restructuring made possible by the CRSD grant. We do not feel that it is a wise use of taxpayers money to spend SI50.000.00 of Federal and State funds to successfully restructure a school and then have the LRSD School Board decide it should be closed. Sincerely, Judith Yeager and Barbara Kennedy, Dodd CSRD grant administrators I ITMiin PAGE 04 Dec. 11.2001 Dear Dr. James and LRSD Board Members, As the Dodd Campus Leadership Team, we feel it is our responsibility to send this letter to request that Dodd not be closed. We are aware that budget ^ts require the LRSD board to make difficult decisions. However, we fee that it is important for the board to have valuable information beyond just enrollment numbers and test scores as these cuts are being determined. Visiting administrators, teachers, out of district educators and guests are impressed by the effort we have made and the successes our students expenence. We ItoI that in this difficult budget time, the LRSD board should also be reminded of the outstanding educational opportunities that we offer our Dodd community. Many have come from sources outside district funds. Our staff has of our resources have come from sources ouisioe oisu.wjunuo. been diligent in writing grants and securing funds to provide resources and staff development not available in other LRSD schools. Some examples include.  CSRD $150,000.00 Dodd was one of the first Arkansas schools to apply for and be awarded a renewable Federal grant of $50,000 per year. We have used these funds during the past 3 years to restructure our Early Literacy and Technology Literacy programs, to train Sherry Chambers as our Literacy Coach, set up model literacy classrooms, and employ the services of a nationally known technology consultant. The funds have also enabled us to provide annual workshops and family nights such as Pig-Out on Books, Write Night and Family Technology Night for Dodd students and parents.  EDS Technology Grant Mrs. Kennedy was awarded this competitive grant in October 2001, to further expand our progressive technology program at Dodd by introducing the ability to incorporate illustrations and documents into student and staff products. Inclusion could include original student artwork. photographs, diagrams, graphs or scanned documents.  Federal Grant for RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) Dodd receives matching funds to provide 3 books per student per year to encourage independent, recreational reading. Due to Federal budget cuts, RIF is no longer funding new programs, so this money cannot transfer to another school and funding will be lost if Dodd is closed.  RIF/Coca-Coia Foundation The Dodd RIF program was selected as an \"exceptional single-site RiF program and received 3 classroom collections of books valued at over $5,100.00. Our school is one of a select few in the state to receive these collections.  WAL-MART Foundation Grant Dodd has been the recipient of this grant for the past 3 years. This grant provides funds for books, supplies and visiting artists such as African storyteller Zinse Agginie and Linda Hebert, an Arkansas historian and artist. * Arts on Tour Grant Dodd has used this grant money for the past 5 years to provide opportunities to expand literacy through the arts. Programs this year include the Arkansas Arts Center's Teli-a-Tale Troupe production of The10/22/2001 52 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 01 Jungle Book and a Writers Workshop by Faye Hanson for 4*' grade students in preparation for the Benchmark Exam. Greater Friendship Baptist Church After School Tutoring Grant Through this grant, Dodd teachers provide tutoring and reading instruction for Dodd students three afternoons a week. We believe that none of these granting entities would feel that their money had been effectively used if Dodd is closed. The training and materials will be ineffective if the staff is dispersed to other schools. We are a team working together io impact student achievement in our Dodd community. The Dodd Campus Leadership Team would also like the board to consider these items: The dedicated Dodd staff voluntarily meets during lunchtime and after school for literacy and technology team meetings. They also attend Saturday technology training. Even though Dodd does not have a computer lab, we have a 9 station mini lab in the qiedia center and 60 AlphaSmart keyboards that are used for whole group instnjction to develop writing, desktop publishing and keyboarding skills. Mrs. Kennedy provides instruction for students through technology lessons integrated with classroom instruction using the following software\nKidPix. PowerPoint, MS Publisher, Electronic Encyclopedias, Internet and note taking from the Internet, Amazing Writing Machine, Kidspiration, Inspiration and Graph Club. An essential element of the computer literacy component is Barb Bumgardner, our technology consultant from Seattle, Washington. Barb is a media specialist at Briarcrest Elementary School and conducts technology seminars/workshops for the Bureau of Education and Research. As our consultant at Dodd, Barb spends time in the classroom modeling research strategies and designing student products with teachers that incorporate technology into benchmark/standards based units of study. She also provides training for our staff resulting in increased teacher proficiency in software applications. It is important to note that our school is driven by our School Improvement Plan and all the items mentioned focus on one thing - improving student achievement. While our past Benchmark scores have been poor, we are seeing results in K-S that will impact our future test results. At a recent LRSD board meeting. Dr. Bonnie Leslie praised Dodd for being 'an example of a successful school implementing both ELLA strategies and Reading Recovery, in the second year of the program implementation, both grades 1 and 2 M improved significantly. The gap was virtually closed in grade 1.' Dodd has both primary and intermediate Special Education Self-Contained classes for children with difficulty adjusting to a regular classroom environment. Because Dodd is a small school and has welcomed and nurtured these students, suspension rates for the students have dropped significantly from previouR years.10/ 72001 52 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 02  Most Importantly, it should be noted that our Dodd population was drastically reduced due to district rezoning several years ago. The Dodd staff and Campus Leadership Team met with Junious Babbs and Baker Kurrus to address our concerns. We were assured that Dodd would not be closed and that the attendance zone would be \"tweaked\" if our population became too small. This was not done. Our current school population is 196. Unlike other urban attendance zones with limited growth, we now have the opportunity for growth due to new construction in our attendance zone. Construction on 50 new homes in the Kenwood Subdivision will begin in January 2002. New houses are also being built in the Pecan Lake and Tall Timber subdivisions. The developers projection is 2.5 children per household, which would drastically increase our school population. We know that difficult budget decisions must be made. However, we also hope that the LRSD Board will consider the outstanding programs and staff at Dodd, the Impact of lost grant funds on the district if Dodd is closed and our potential for population growth as these budget decisions are made. Please come visit and observe the wonderful educational opportunities our students experience at Dodd before you decide its fate. Sincerely, Dodd Campus Leadership Team10/22/2001 05:17 5014557413 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 02 December 10, 2001 DEAR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS\nWe, as PARENT OF DAVID O DODD ELEMENTARY, are extremely concerned over rhe proposed closing of our school. We feel that you may not have all the vital information regarding Dodd Elementary that you need to make a decision about closing our school. Dodd currently has an enrollment of 195 students with a new subdivision on David 0. Dodd Road which will begin new construction January 2002. We feel that Dodd has much potential to grow.. Furthermore, enrollment over the past several years has been affected by the Districts decision to cut our attendance zone, sending many of our former students to Otter Creek. Removal of our 6* graders also resulted in a loss of 40 students. We also would like for the Board to have a picture of our staff at Dodd and what they provide to students. Dodd has a high number of staff who have expertise in their field: reading and technology especially. We understand that having this kind of staffing costs more, but as parents we can not put a price on our childrens education. This staff has, on their own time, obtained numerous grants to provide students with the best educational resources. We are often referred to as, The best kept secret in the Little Rock School District. Dodd meets racial guidelines set by the District. Tlie Dodd racial balance is currently 59.5/40.5. We feel that this makes us a stronger school community. As parents we are all willing to use our resources to ensure that our children receive the BEST education from the BEST teachers/.

Dodd elementary school communities Thursday extolled the virtues of their small schools to the Little Rock School Board. Board members were sympathetic and made no final decisions. However, by the end of the meeting, the School Board not only directed Superintendent Kenneth James to continue planning for the possible closing of Badgett and Dodd as a way to save about $1.7 million. but also asked him to prepare feasibility study on closing a a third small school. Fair Park Elementary at 616 N. Harrison St, where about 200 pupils attend classes. The presidents of the parentteacher associations from both Dodd and Badgett presented the School Board with petitions Thursday pleading to keep their schools. Were going to refuse to let Dodd close, Tiwana Noon- er, a parent of three Dodd pupils, said. Were going to fight. Dodd parents and community members pointed to the number of grants that the school has received in recent years to restructure the way reading and language arts are taught. Those grants and programs may not all be transferable to other schools, they said. Additionally, they argued that the specially trained staff members will be scattered across the district, diluting the effectiveness of their training. Diane Krippendorf, a community member, also pointed out that as many as 200 new homes are planned for the Dodd attendance zone, which should boost the schools enrollment over the next few years. District officials said the new homes might bring in 14 to 20 new children for the school in each of the ne.xt two years. James has said that the possible school closings are just one See SCHOOLS, Page 9B I Schools  Continued from Page 1B area for potential budget cuts, and that he and his staff are preparing recommendations for more reductions. In response to School Board members who said they cant decide on closing schools without knowing what their other options are, James said he will give them some proposals after the first of the year.

When the School Board meets Jan. 10, however, the deciding factor win be money, not test scores. Superintendent Kenneth James said closing Dodd, Fair Park and Badgett elementary schools will help offset a $2.4 million cut in state funding the district had counted on for the coming year. Closing Dodd and Fair Park will each save the district $700,000 annually and Badgetts closing will save another $500,000, James said. The movement of charter students back to their neighborhood schools would save about $480,000, for a total projected savings of $2.4 million. \"Its always hard to close schools, James said. People are very close to their schools and I understand that, but regardless of what happens here, its still my job to bring ideas to the board on how to make cuts and balance the budget. James warned that a larger cut i in state funding could happen after the new year if the economy remains on a path to recession. \"Couple that with salary obligations, and we've got to make a minimum $6 million cut to balance the budget,\" he warned. The schools are targets for  I closing because of their small enrollments and high per-student costs. Badgett, at 6900 Pecan Road near Little Rock National Airport, Adams Field, has 153 students in its regular program and another 80 enrolled in the districts charter program at the site. Dodd, at 6423 Stagecoach Road, has 188 students. Fair Park Elementary, off Kavanaugh Boulevard, has 200 students. Those displaced students will be distributed throughout the district. According to preliminary plans, Badgett students would move to Rockefeller and Washington elementary schools, with the schools charter students returning to the schools in their attendance zones. Dodd students would be divided among Western Hills, Romine and Otter Creek elementary schools. The district has not discussed a moving plan for Fair Park students.

The board plans to bring the principals from the other schools that would absorb the Dodd, Fair Park and Badgett students if the schools are closed. It almost sounds like they have their minds made up, she said. Id really like to think that we have a chance and not just blowing in the wind. Kurrus said he has gone to great length to inform people that school closure is no more than an option at this point. I dont think anybodys made up their minds. Weve got to do something, we cant just afford to ignore that we will lose revenue while our expenses continue to climb. But were considering different options, not just closing schools, he said. If the schools are closed, it will affect more than the students. Porfiris said new housing developments near Dodd Elementary will suffer with the loss of a neighborhood school. She has recruited Becky Finney, a real estate developer with Rainey Realty to fight the closure of Dodd. Pecan Ridge. Tall Timber and Kenwood subdivisions have expansions in progress. The School Board estimates those growing subdivisions would increase Dodd enrollment by up to 20 students next year and 15 students the following year. Kurrus said nothing is off limits for balancing the budget. The one thing he deems sacred are teacher salaries and raises. \"To have the best teachers, I feel that we have to reward them financially, he said. Kurrus said streamlining the districts administrative process, ending property tax breaks as corporate incentives and get the district out of court over desegregation are all good options for balancing the budget. Porfiris is banking on alternatives to save Dodd. \"And if it comes down to fire the caretaker, heck, well come up there and mow the grass ourselves, she said.J a n u a r y 3. 2 0 0 2 1 District sets sessions on closing 3 schools ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE The Little Rock School District will hold a series of public meetings, beginning today, at three low-enrollment schools under consideration for closing.

Dodd Elementary School in Little Rock and East End Elementary School in Sheridan have been named state winners in the national Reading Is Fundamental Reading Challenge. During the two-week-long challenge in March, teachers dressed up as characters out of easy-readers and led children and parents in chants and cheers about the fun and magic of reading. Schools were awarded pomts for every child who read a minimum number of hours during the reading challenge, and also scored points when children visited the local library or got involved in other reading-related activities. Ten schools in Arkansas participated in the program. Dodd won in the smaller schools category, and East End won as a larger school. At a ceremony in the East End school gym Thursday afternoon, Karla Koon, the schools librarian, and Shane Broadway, speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives, honored the schools highest performing students. Eighteen students had done all the reading and bonus activities to amass 150 points. At the close of the ceremony, Koon cautioned the students to keep up their good habits. Remember, you can explore new places by reading anytime, anywhere, and all year long, she said.\nThis project was supported in part by a Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives project grant from The Andrew W.

We are in the business of preparing students for life-long literacy, it has been said, \"Those who fail to plan, plan to fail\". Lesson plans generally reflect what you will teach, why and how. They should be functional, flexible and adaptable (in your absence). Middle school English teachers are using effective plans throughout the District. We invite some of you to bring examples of plans that have worked well for you in the literacy-based classroom. Teachers actively working in the field are great resources. Please come prepared to share so we all will grow. Time will also be allotted for sharing success strategies and for seeking solutions to problem areas. We invite and encourage your attendance.

A Complete Set can be checked out from your Middle School.) 1Little Rock School District Connected Mathematics Program Whats It All About? This document has been produced to provide information to parents regarding the mathematics curriculum currently being taught, tested and reviewed in all eight middle schools of the Little Rock School District. Q: What is Connected Mathematics? A: Connected Mathematics (CMP) is a middle school mathematics curriculum. Designed for grades 6, 7, and 8, it is a problem-based curriculum connecting different areas within mathematics, mathematics to other subject areas, and mathematics to applications in the world outside school. Q: Why are we making changes in the middle school curriculum? A: The curriculum in CMP offers Little Rock a much more rigorous middle school curriculum than we have had in the past. Little Rock needed a more rigorous curriculum at the middle school in order for our students to be successful in Algebra I and other higher level mathematics courses. By law, the Arkansas Mathematics Frameworks outlines the mathematics standards that all students are expected to achieve. Students success in reaching the middle grades (5-8) standards is measured by an exam called the 8* grade Benchmark exam. 89% of the students taking the Arkansas Benchmark exam given in the 8** grade scored below basic. Our past middle school mathematics curriculum has not always provided good preparation for our students. The Third International Math and Science study shows that only the top 5% of American students can perform as well as the top 25% of students internationally. Q\nDoes CMP emphasize the basic skills? A: Basic skills are a vital part of CMP. In addition to the basic skills practice embedded in CMP, Little Rock teachers will reinforce basic skills through homework assignments and mini-units as time permits. Calculators are used as a valuable teaching tool in CMP as well as in the mathematics programs at all Little Rock schools, but they are not used as a substitute for students learning the basics. Q: How has Connected Mathematics been implemented in Little Rock? A: Little Rock is entering its second year of implementation of the Connected Mathematics curriculum in 2000-01. Year one implemented 6^ grade\nyear two added 7^ and o\" grade. Q\nIs there any research about Connected Math? A: Yes. The National Science Foundation funded several curriculum projects to design and implement curriculum that was outlined in the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in the late 198Os. The Connected Math Project was developed at Michigan State University with a National Science Foundation grant. Units were developed and extensively piloted in 19 states over several years with the final version published in 1996. CMP has more research behind it than the programs we have used in the past. It is the only program that has been developed from the ground up rather than taking an existing program and modifying it by adding suggestions for manipulative, alternative assessment, group work, etc. Additional information is available on the Web at www.mth.msu.edu/CA4R 2Q: What is the result on student achievement from implementing Connected Mathematics? A: The results will be monitored closely in Little Rock. At the end of each module, students achievement will be measured according to the Districts benchmarks for mathematics. Stanford 9 scores for the 7**^ grade and ACTAAP scores for e and 8 grades will be closely monitored. In addition, individual student growth will be measured at all grade levels by the use of the levels tests (ALTs) given in the fall and spring of each year. Schools that have been using CMP for several years (Travers City, Michigan, and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for example) state their students perform very well in high school. Many of them have such strong mathematical backgrounds that they are able to skip Algebra I and move directly into geometry. Q: How is Connected Mathematics different from the math taught in the traditional math class? A\nContent presented in the CMP is very similar to a traditional program. CMP students are required by state law to cover the same material as students in other programs. Therefore, CMP students will be well prepared to enter Algebra I. What is different is the way the content is delivered. WHAT students learn is shaped by HOW they learn. Students work individually, in pairs and in groups of four. This strategy allows students to experience different points of view and offers opportunities for students to share their opinions and strategies about mathematical processes. Students are assessed individually with homework grades, quizzes, tests, and projects. Q: Are there Connected Mathematics textbooks? A: Yes. All students have their own textbooks. However, the textbook is published in separate booklets. The booklets are three-hole punched and can be carried in students three-ring binders. Parent handbooks for each unit will be available for checkout from the school libraries to aid parents in helping their children at home. Q: Do teachers receive training in order to teach Connected Mathematics? A: Teachers received two days of training for each booklet. Since CMP is so heavily correlated to the Arkansas State Benchmark exam given in the 8** grade, and this year in the e* grade, our teachers were already very well prepared in terms of curriculum. The only difference is the methodology of delivery. Q: Is this anything like the old new Math? A: No. The content of CMP is based on traditional mathematics concepts. The difference is that instead of working on computation skills alone, the students learn mathematics in the context of actual situations, such as those they will have to face in the work place. Q: Where can I learn more about Connected Math? A: You can get information from the Connected Mathematics web site. The address for this web site is www.mth.msu.edu/CMP/CMP.html. Please feel free to talk to your childs teacher or school principal about the mathematics program if you have additional questions, or call Dennis Glasgow, Director of Math and Science, or Docia Jones, middie-school math lead teacher, at 324-0520. 3LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT CMP CURRICULUM for Grades 6, 7, \u0026amp; 8 6** Grade 7' Grade e\"* Grade Prime Time Number theory\nprimes\ncomposites, factors and multiples Bits and Pieces ii Using rational numbers: computation Moving Straight Ahead Linear relationships expressed in words, tables, graphs, and symbols Data About Us Data investigation\nformulating questions, gathering data, organizing and analyzing data, making decisions based on data Accentuate the Negative Understanding and using integers Bits and Pieces I Understanding rational numbers: fractions, decimals, and percents Shapes and Designs Reasoning about shapes\nshape properties\nangle measure and Variables and Patterns Introducing Algebra\nvariables, tables, graphs, and symbols as representations Filling and Wrapping 3-D measurement For Pre-AP add Moving Straight Ahead Linear relationships expressed in words, tables, graphs and symbols Covering and Surrounding Measurement: area and perimeter Thinking with Mathematical Models Introduction to functions and modeling Growing, Growing, Growing...

Content is presented in a spiral effect through 6*^, 7'*', and 8 grade. The order in which the concepts are introduced differs from the previous program\nconcepts are presented in thematic modules. Basic math skills are emphasized. Isolated skills are taught with little problem solving application. Integrated skills are taught in order to solve real- world problems and promote critical thinking. Formulas and application of formulas are emphasized. Formulas are taught first and little application or extension activities are provided. Application problems are presented first and students are asked to derive formulas from logical reasoning of patterns. Calculator use is integrated into instruction when appropriate. Most students lack the confidence to solve problems without a calculator. CMP students use calculators as tools to be used at appropriate time to solve problems. Teacher editions provide examples and answers to problems. The curriculum expects teachers to see the same outcome from each student\nsome traditional books provide outlines. Possible student scenarios are given\nprovides Daily progressive outlines are provided in order to reach targeted objectives. Cooperative learning is up to the individual teacher. Lessons cater to the individual learner. A wealth of opportunities to incorporate cooperative learning is provided. 5Previous Program I Current Program Student textbooks are provided. Traditional books provide examples and practice in order for students to achieve mastery through concentrated repetition. CMP books provide problems that encourage a variety of solution strategies with teachers providing additional computation practice. Homework problems are assigned for practice daily. 20-50 problems concentrating on one objective are provided\nmost problems are repetitive practice. 3-8 problems are assigned over the objective, while incorporating other objectives and asking students to explain answers. Students are taught problem-solving strategies. Problem-solving is isolated in one unit of the text. Problem-solving is taught throughout the curriculum. Teacher directed learning is provided in both programs. Students are passive learners. Teachers guide students to be active learners. Assessment materials are provided for the teacher. All assessments follow a similar format in which students are asked to recall facts and formulas. A variety of assessments are provided, allowing students to express their knowledge through a wide spectrum of higher order thinking skills. Students are expected to show how they arrived at an answer. Work shown is typically mathematical and very little verbal explanation is given. Students are expected to be able to verbally explain how they worked their problem and why they chose a particular strategy. 6Why Connected Mathematics!^ The Little Rock School Districts Secondary Mathematics Textbook Selection Committee recommended Connected Mathematics to the Superintendent for adoption in the middle grades (6-8) for two primary reasons: 1. The traditional mathematics program was not producing desired achievement results. 2. Much evidence convinced the committee that Connected Mathematics would improve the academic performance of students in the middle grades. Mathematics Achievement of Past Years  Benchmark Examination for eighth grade mathematics - Students took this examination required for state accountability purposes for the first time in 1998-99. (The results for 1999-00 are not available yet.) Results were reported as the percentage of students who were either advanced, proficient, basic, or below basic. The state considered students who scored in the proficient or advanced range as being at grade level or above and those who scored in the basic or below basic as being below grade level. Results from the 1519 eighth grade students who took the exam were: Scoring Range Advanced Proficient Basic_______ Below Basic 1998-99 2% '0% 24% 6^ Only 11 % of the students were at or above grade level on the examination. 31 % of white students were at or above grade level and 3% of black students were at or above grade level.  Stanford Achievement Test, Edition taken by seventh grade students - This national test is taken by all seventh grade students in the area of mathematics. The students who took the test in 1997-98 through 1999-2000 were compared to all students nationwide and grouped according to the number who were scored in the 0 - 25^ percentile range (first quartile), the 26 - SO** percentile range (second quartile), the 51 - 75**' percentile range (third quartile), and the 76 - 99'*^ percentile range (fourth quartile). Those students in the third and fourth quartiles scored above the national average, and those students in the first and second quartiles scored below the national average. Results from the test were: 7Grade 7 Quartile Fourth Third Second First 97-98 17% 18% 21% 44% 98-99 16% 19% 26% 40% 99-00 18% 18% 22% 41% Results show that the number of students above the national average in mathematics in grade 7 was only about 36%. The remaining students, about 64%, were below the national average in mathematics. Desired Mathematics Performance for the Future The Arkansas Comprehensive Testing, Assessment, and Accountability Program (ACTAAP) has established the following performance goals:  Tier 1 - 100% of a school's students shall perform at or above the proficient level in mathematics on the eighth grade Benchmark Examination in Mathematics.  Tier 2 - (If the 100% goal is not met, a trend or improvement goal must be met.) The percent of students performing at or above the proficient level in mathematics on the eighth grade Benchmark Examination in Mathematics will meet or exceed a 10% growth each year. The National Science Foundation Cooperative Agreement contains the following goals\n The Little Rock School District agrees to enact policies and practices that will contribute to an annual increase of 5% for Years 3-5 in the test scores of underrepresented minority students in mathematics as measured by the following tests\nMathematics Test Measures Achievement Level Tests________________ Stanford Achievement Test______________ Arkansas Benchmark Examination________ American College Testing (ACT) EXPLORE exam Grade(s) Implemented 3-11 5,7,10 4,6,8 8 8Why Connected Mathematics Can Improve Mathematics Achievement State pilot school district data and national reports indicate that Connected Mathematics improves achievement in mathematics. In Arkansas five middle schools representing five different school districts piloted Connected Mathematics for three years before students took the eighth grade Benchmark Examination in mathematics. The percentage of students in each of the four achievement categories for the pilot school districts, the state, and the Little Rock School District are presented in the chart below: LR Schools State Schools Below Basic Basic______ Proficient Advanced 65% 24% 9% 2% 47% 40% 11% 2% CMP Pilots Schools 28% 49% 19% 4% The greater the number of students in the below basic category, the farther behind the schools are in meeting the achievement goals set by the state. Districts piloting Connected Mathematics were much ahead of the state and the Little Rock School District in mathematics achievement on the eighth grade Benchmark Exam. The Portland, Oregon schools have implemented Connected Mathematics in its middle schools. A recent article in the Portland newspaper highlighted the increase in math scores on the state math test. The headline read City schools make big gains on state tests. The districts math coordinator predicted Portlands math scores would rise the first year the new math approach was instituted. Results proved him to be correct. The districts new math programs. Investigations for elementary school and Connected Mathtor middle school, emphasize problem-solving instead of drills and call on students to discover math concepts for themselves rather than memorize formulas. Connected Mathematics was designated as an Exemplary Program\" by a United States Department of Education Expert Panel. The panel found strong evidence for the impact of the program on gains in students understanding of mathematics, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving. The strength of the evidence was based on use of multiple measures, including tests aligned with the National Standards in Mathematics, and several types of comparisons. The American Association for the Advancement of Science rated Connected Mathematics as the number one middle school math textbook. AAAS evaluated twelve middle school math textbooks using a set of instructional criteria. 9ASSESSMENTS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS The following measures are administered annually at targeted grade levels\nName of Assessment SATO ~ Stanford Achievement Test 9\" Edition Type________________ National Norm Referenced Grade Levels Grades 5, 7,10 EXPLORE American College Test ACTAAP State Benchmark Examination National Criterion Referenced ____________ State Criterion Referenced Grade 8 Grade 8 ALT Achievement Level Test EMT End of Math Module Tests ACTAAP State End of Course Exams Local Criterion Referenced with National Comparison Group Local Criterion Referenced State Criterion Referenced 10 Grades 6-8 Grades 6-8 Algebra, geometryWhat Effect Will Connected Mathematics Have on SA T-9, ACT, and SA T Scores? SAT-9 A study was done which compared the performance of eight pilot Connected Mathematics middle schools to the state average on the Stanford Achievement Test in mathematics given to fifth grade students in 1995 and to the same students again as seventh graders in 1997. At the time the Stanford-9 was given the pilot school students had only had one year of the Connected Mathematics curriculum. The results were: CMP schools State schools Stanford-9 1995 NCE 44.58 43.00 Stanford-9 1997 NCE 49.92 47.00 Difference +5.34* +4.00 This increase is statistically significant ACT, SAT Although students who have taken Connected Mathematics have not moved into the high schools yet, we are confident that students will do well as well as or better than before on the mathematics part of ACT and SAT. These assessments, like many others, have responded to the NCTM Standards in Mathematics in developing assessment questions. The tests require students to use their reasoning skills to solve practical problems in mathematics which is a strength of Connected Mathematics. 11Will Connected Mathematics Prepare My Child for Algebra 1 and Higher Level Mathematics? We think that Connected Mathematics will superbly prepare students for Algebra 1 and above. Many students will be ready to take Algebra 1 in the eighth grade after two years of Connected Mathematics. Others may continue in Connected Mathematics in the eighth grade and either take Algebra 1 in its traditional location in the ninth grade or take the Algebra 1 End of Course Exam after eighth grade Connected Mathematics. We feel that many students will have all their Algebra 1 skills mastered after eighth grade Connected Mathematics. Following is an excerpt from Getting to Know Connected Mathematics that addresses the algebra in CMP. Many people think of algebra as a course at high school, towards which all prior mathematics has been heading. Students enter the traditional course somewhat in awe of the lofty position they have reached, and are often discouraged to find that the mathematical ideas and skills they have previously developed do not seem related to success in a traditional Algebra 1. The popular impression in the community at large is that algebra is the ability to manipulate symbols, usually following instructions to simplify and expression, or solve an equation. Traditionally students memorize rules, focusing on specific strategies for specific problems. The symbols and rules often are meaningless to students, who try to survive by memorizing and, thus, only retain the ideas for a short time. There is little evidence that students develop algebraic reasoning, including symbolic reasoning, from this kind of experience. In fact, the development of algebraic ideas can and should take place over a long period of time, prior to attempts to deal solely with abstract symbols, and well before the first year of high school. The philosophy of how students learn mathematicsthat is, students develop algebraic reasoning and understanding while pursuing solutions to interesting problems. Having students approach algebraic ideas through investigations and problems allows students to search for patterns and relationships in data, and to find ways to express these patterns, first in words and then in symbols. The algebraic units in CMP develop three important patterns, which model many real situations. By focusing on the patterns underlying the problem, asking students to describe similarities and differences across patterns, and challenging students to predict answers, the mathematics of functions and relationships is developed. For example, in the Walkathon Problem, in the unit entitled Moving Straight Ahead, students investigate the distance each person walks. 2.3 Walkathon Your class decides to raise money for a charity by competing in t he city's Walkathon. Each person in the class finds sponsors who each pledge to pay a certain amount of money for each kilometer that the person walks. The money goes to a charity. The person who raises the most money receives a new pair of Rollerblades. Sponsors 12 often ask for a suggestion of how much they should pay per kilometer. Others will follow the example of the first person who fills out the form. Your class would like to agree on how much money to ask the sponsors for. Jane argues that one dollar per kilometer would be appropriate. Bill argues for two dollars a kilometer because it would bring in more money. Amy suggested that if the price was too high not as many people would be sponsorsso she suggested that each sponsor pay a $5 donation plus an extra 50 cents per kilometer. For each price suggestion made by Bill, Jane, and Amy:  Make a table showing the total amount of money a sponsor pays for distances between 1 and 10 miles. This is called a pay plan.  Sketch a graph of the amount of money a sponsor would pay under each pay plan. Display all the graphs on the same set of axes.  Write an equation for each of the pay plans which shows how the amount of money a sponsor owes can be calculated for the total distance that a student walked. 1. 2. 3. 4. As the amount of money charged per mile is increased, what effect does this have on the table? On the equation? On the graph? A student walked 8 miles in the Walkathon. How much would her sponsors pay under each of the pay plans? Explain how you arrived at your answers. One of the sponsors paid $10 after the race. How many miles would that sponsors student have walked under each of the three pay plans? Explain how you arrived at your answers. How is Amy's fixed $5 cost represented in the table? In the equation? In the graph. In this situation the focus quickly centers on the relationship between the variables. If the rate at which a person walks is fixed, then distance depends upon (or is a function of the) time\nthat is, distance = rate x time. As students reason about this situation they are encouraged to use multiple representations, which help them to show their reasoning and also to develop understanding of the important linear relationship underlying this situation. As the time changes by one unit, the distance changes by a constant amount. This is the key feature of recognizing this constant rate of change in various representations, students develop a deep understanding of the basic linear pattern. The rate at which a person walks is the constant rate of change (or the slope of a straight line). This pattern shows up as a straight line in a graph, as an equation of the form, y = ax, and as increments of change in a table. The rate is indicated by the steepness of the line, the coefficient, a, of x in the equation, and the constant increment of change in the table. A variation of the problem has two brothers involved in a walking rave with the younger brother getting a head start. This leads to the equation, y = ax + b\nwhere a is the rate at which the younger brother walks and b represents the amount of head start. Once students have a beginning understanding of linear patterns, they then need help in recognizing this pattern in many different disguises. For example, the cost, C, of buying N compact discs at $15 each is C + 15N. Having recognized that this is the 13 same pattern as that in the Walkathon problem, students are quickly able to reason about the relationship between the variables. Using problem situations and multiple representations to represent these situations gives rise to solving equations. For example, students can use tables or graphs or they can reason about the problem. Once students have a good^ sense of what it means to solve and how these solutions relate to the variables and the problem, then the techniques of solving a linear equation symbolically are developed. CMP Algebra Goals - by the End of Eighth Grade in CMP Most Students Should be Able to:  Recognize situations in which important problems and decisions involve relations among quantitative variablesone variable changing overtime or several variables changing in response to each other.  Use numerical tables, graphs, symbolic expressions, and verbal descriptions to describe and predict the patterns of change in variables.  Recognize (in various representational forms) the patterns of change associated with linear, exponential, and quadratic functions.  Use numeric, graphic, and symbolic strategies to solve common problems involving linear, exponential, and quadratic functions. Inevitably parents and teachers will wonder how the CMP algebra strand relates to and can be compared to a traditional school algebra curriculum. The only helpful comparison to make is how well students understand algebraic ideas, and how well they employ algebraic reasoning in solving problems. Since the focus of CMP is on developing understanding, rather that on memorizing rules and processes to apply in response to instructions such as simplify or solve,\" a simple checklist of concepts and skills that appear in CMP and in traditional programs is not particularly relevant. The question of most interest to parents and teachers should be,  How well will the next mathematics course my student takes support the strong understanding of algebraic ideas developed in CMP?\" If the next course is a traditional Algebra 1, CMP students will find themselves spending large amounts of time studying processes and rules for which they see no application. The motivation for learning these rules may shift from the focus of making sense to simply memorizing to survive. Certainly, CMP students will find that many of the big ideas in Algebra 1, such as representing linear functions, solving equations, and finding equivalent forms of an expression, are familiar, and perhaps a repetition of what they already know. They will also wonder why the problems are restricted mainly to linear patterns, whereas in CMP they had also learned about other important patterns. The algebra strand in CMP will certainly prepare students for successful, if somewhat repetitive year in a traditional Algebra 1. It is to be hoped, however, that students will be fortunate enough to find themselves able to take courses that continue to challenge them to develop algebraic reasoning. High school teachers of these students need to be aware that these students have begun to develop an understanding of functions that is far beyond a traditional Algebra 1 approach. 14How Will the District Know Whether Connected Mathematics is Working? A number of avenues will be used to know whether Connected Mathematics is working. First, after each module, an End of Module Test will be given to every student. The End of Module Tests will assess the mathematics content and skills that were targeted for that module. We will be looking to see if the majority of students achieved mastery (75% of the items were answered correctly) on each test. The End of Module Tests were developed locally by teachers and specialists to match the Connected Mathematics curriculum. Secondly, students will take fall and spring Achievement Levels Tests (ALT) in mathematics. This test is based on the Little Rock School District and state standards for mathematics. The achievement on this math test will tell us whether our students are learning what we expected them to learn and will also let us see how our students are achieving compared to a large comparison group of students nationally who take the same test. We will look closely at the ALT scores to see how our students perform compared to the national group. We expect our students to make a full years growth in mathematics each year and to perform at or near the same level as the national group. Based on the first administration of the ALT, our students performed well, only slightly behind the national comparison group. We will be looking forthat gap to close during the next few administrations. Thirdly, and most importantly, students in the eighth grade will take the high stakes Sate Benchmark Examination in mathematics. We expect good growth in the percentage of students who move from one achievement level to the next higher level (from basic to proficient for example). This growth should start appearing in the Benchmark scores from the spring 2001 administration of the exam. This will be the first administration where the students have been enrolled in a full year of Connected Mathematics before they take the exam. At the same time that the measures mentioned above are being watched, we want to make sure that our nationally normed tests such as the SAT-9 (7* grade) and the EXPLORE (8* grade) hold steady or increase. While our main objective is for students to achieve on the critically important State Benchmark Examination, we want to make sure that our students are improving in relation to other students around the country. 15MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS LEAD TEACHER/CONSULTANT The District has employed a lead teacher for middle school mathematics.

He grew up on a farm, and his father was a livestock dealer. Smith began high school at age eleven. Upon graduation, he went on to graduate first from Tougaloo College and later Howard University, where he earned his M.D. In 1961, Smith was one of twelve Mississippi physicians drafted due to the Berlin Crisis. At that time, Smith became active in the Civil Rights movement. In 1963, Smith and others formed the Medical Committee for Civil Rights and picketed the American Medical Association to bring attention to segregated health care and racial disparities in morbidity. In 1964, he contributed to the creation of the southern arm of the Medical Committee for Human Rights (MCHR), which sponsored doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and other members of the allied health disciplines to come to Mississippi for Freedom Summer. In 1965, he helped obtain Office of Equal Opportunity funds to set up a model healthcare clinic in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, to serve seventeen counties by providing health, environmental, social, and legal services to those who needed it."],"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":["University of Southern Mississippi.
