Tiered Instruction 2011 - 2012     Ms. Andross Rm. E101 & Mr. Annear Rm. E106 The goal of this is to help students better understand the basic concept of math and to feel more comfortable with their math skills. The class will meet either two or three times a week. Students will be working on Study Island which is a Software program that the district has purchased to assist them in their weak area and support them on their mastery of their math skills. We will also be working with the student in class with notes, group work and individual tutoring. We will be sending home bi-weekly progress reports but we strongly encourage parent/guardians to use the school’s portal to keep track of your student’s progress. Your student’s progress will be assessed differently than other class. The grading will be as follows: Homework/class work: 20% Open Response and Projects: (Testing) 30% Quizzes: 25% Study Island: 15% Class participation: 10% Class participation will consist of keeping a journal, having a pencil, working with others as well as asking and answering questions in class. The overall grading of the class: A 90 – 100 B 80 – 89 C 70 – 79 F anything below 70 Students may be added to the class or withdrawn from the class at midterm in January, depending on their progress and needs.
