  4. Methods • Pre-assessment (current student knowledge) • Compacting curriculum (main areas of testing) • OAKS math testing • Comparison to past test data • Reflection

  5. Research Design:How it’s Going to go Down O T O • Extant Data • Curriculum Intervention • OAKS/Survey • Reflection • Bragging…maybe

  6. Results • If students score higher than in past years, this testing change will continue to be practiced. • If students don’t score higher than in past years, modifications will be made for next year.
