Regents: Raising Standards, with Extra Help to Achieve Them

• The Regents approved new, higher math standards in March 2005.

• A grade-by-grade core curriculum based on those standards went to the schools for the beginning of the 2005-06 school year.

• Since then, schools have worked very hard to master this more demanding curriculum.

Regents: Raising Standards, with Extra Help to Achieve Them

• This year’s results show the progress among many schools.

Regents: Raising Standards, with Extra Help to Achieve Them

• Still, this is not enough. We cannot rest until we have closed the achievement gap. That will take more time and hard work.

• But these results do show that many schools are taking actions that work.

• In today’s news conference, we’ll discuss these results and what the schools are doing to achieve them.
