Olivia Sullivan of the Federal Way Mirror covers Federal Way Public Schools and Superintendent Dr. Tammy Campbell’s vision for overcoming learning loss in math during the State of Education:
“In math, the district will be piloting a new math program, Teach to One, funded by the Bezos Family Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, at Sacajawea Middle School for seventh graders and at Woodmont K-8 for sixth through eighth graders. Teach to One will focus on providing targeted and differentiated online instruction based on students’ individual academic needs with the goal of closing gaps in individual students’ math skills to accelerate academic growth. FWPS is also in the process of adopting a new math curriculum for the entire district.”

By using quick formative assessments like exit slips at the end of each class, I gather real-time data to guide flexible, responsive grouping for the following week. It’s all about solving for what students need, not just assigning pages from the book.
