    1. Advanced Mathematical Decision Making

    2. AMDM Alternative to pre-calculus or elective with or after pre-calculus Preparing students for college and careers Modeling, reasoning, decision-making throughout Students communicating and presenting Statistics, finance, modeling with trigonometry, discrete math, algebra, and geometry Rigorous, relevant, accessible

    3. What you have Fall 2009 Newsletter (#2) Voices from the Field Check the website regularly: http://utdanacenter.org/amdm

    4. 2009-2010 Pilot Approximately 90 pilot high schools in Texas 3 pilot schools in Indiana/Illinois Proposed student expectations Free pdfs of comprehensive instructional materials (stu/tea) Online web communities (four groups of 25 to 35) 8 days of professional development throughout the year (3 days summer; 5 days during the school year) Sessions at CAMT

    5. Where are we? Pilot with materials: 2009-2010 (prof. development summer 2009 & throughout the year) Videoconference awareness sessions Oct-Nov 2009 (ESC reps; counselors; administrators; targeted audiences) Seeking funding for implementation with materials: 2010-2011 and beyond (professional development begins summer 2010) Shift to self-sustaining, ongoing implementation and professional development: 2011 or 2012 (Support from ESCs? Universities? Others?)

    6. State Board Action/Implications SBOE chose not to adopt AMDM as CTE course at July SBOE meeting Left the door open for AMDM as math course District options: Offer as Mathematics Independent Study: TAC 74.63 b(2) HB 3 option via working with a college or university We will continue to work toward Board approval as a math course Advocacy, outreach, information, invitation
