This analysis examines the math achievement trends in California from 2011-2018 using CST and SBAC benchmark results. While proficiency levels remain relatively unchanged, high school shows a significant decline. District resources, support, and targeted programs are recommended to address this issue. Solutions include professional development and regular articulation meetings to adapt pedagogy to meet the Common Core standards.

Executive Summary • Common Core Math Standards and Math Practices (2014) • Assessment changes (2015) • Percent proficient and advanced for all levels remain virtually unchanged • While achievement declines across the grades, high school has the largest drop • Benchmark data shows promise
District Resources and Support • Instructional Coach Support • Districtwide Silicon Valley Math Initiative (SVMI) membership • DreamBox Personalized Learning Software (Adaptive) • Elevate Summer Program for incoming 3-10 grade students • After school workshops • Pilot school program at 3rd grade • Low Performing Student Block Grant (LPSBG) targeted to secondary mathematics
Why? • Motivation • Pedagogy remains the same and has not adapted to meet common core instruction and assessment Solutions: • Professional development - Administrators: develop an understanding of highly effective math instruction - Teachers: release time during workday • Articulation meetings twice a year
