  3. Key Curricular Decisions Integrated or Traditional Approach? • All Math teachers educated on options via meetings & PD sessions • Site departments made independent recommendations via chairs • Unanimous recommendation to move to Integrated approach What Courses to Offer and in Which Order? • Chairs, ToSA’s, Principals brainstormed options • Four options presented to all teachers via PD sessions • Departments discussed and made suggestions/revisions • Counselors/Sped/EL/Parents/Feeders provided input • Site departments made independent recommendation via chairs • Resulted in 3 tier (Intervention, CP, Honors) pathways with flexible entry/exit points
