Student Math Requirements
1980s “Old-style” objectives1992 Essential Competencies
based on NCTM Standards1996 Content Standards & Benchmarks1998 Performance Standards
K-4, 5-8, 9-12 & quite specific, but not aligned w/ assessment
2002 Based on 2000 NCTM Standards K-8 grade specific and to be aligned w/ assessment
2005 Revision
Last week of June 2005Available for comment atwww.nmlites.org/standards/math/index.htmlMust be done by the end of next week
And what about 21st Century Skills??
High School Grad Requirements
1980 - 2 courses
1986 - 3 courses
2003 - 1 course has to be Algebra I
2009 - Add Geometry?
2010 - Add Algebra II?
What data says kids are learning more?
What unintended consequences?
What support is needed?
“Highly Qualified” Middle School Math & Science Teachers w/ K-8
Colleges courses don’t tell it all, but …Sanders & Wenglinsky
1980 15 credits was to be requiredRescinded before it went into effect
2001 NCLB24 credits & test24 credits or test18 credits if 5 years tchg w/ last 2 +12 credits if reviewed (6 if tchg > 1 subj)

Closing gaps while raising the bar
Aligned Standards & assessment
Danger of teaching to tests
Expecting more of high school
But Grade 8 proficiency level?
Without pushing many students out!
Improving teaching as main job of all teachers
