the "exemplary list"
|
Unfortunately, the formula for choosing the exampt "200" schools was
never made public. It was connected to standardized test scores and
somehow adjusted to account for the population of a school (middle
class, lower class). Some schools received partial waivers for either
mathematics or literacy in an appeal process, but the criteria for that
were never made public, either.
We do know that some of the District 2 model of staff development is
being adopted throughout the city and the chancellor has suggested that
every school should have its own math coach. How coaches are trained
will be critical to the success of the standard curricula.
