Math Investigations
by Somewhere over the rainbow
Sep 26, 2009
The county adopted Math Investigations and has been phasing it into the different grades over the last few years. My school did not make AYP because of our math scores. The principal charted our math SOL scores for the last couple of years and the scores have been steadily going down. Nearby schools with similar demographics have had their scores go up each year. Why? Our principal was chastised when a teacher deviated from MI to help her students understand a math concept so our principal insisted on us being true to MI. Teachers at the other schools stepped outside of MI to help their students understand the concepts.

Not only Loudoun .......... Sadly, it is not only Loudoun. It is PWC too. And teachers are being threatened with their jobs if they stray from MI. And if they don't individually meet the AYP/NCLB goals, regardless of class make-up.

It's a scary time to be a teacher in PWC.

Right to work? That's the problem with teaching in a "right to work state." Certain counties, especially in Northern VA, find all kinds of ways to manipulate the system to their advantage and make life a living "heck" for the teachers. Meanwhile certain administrators and the companies are making the big bucks. Does PWC have an organization? I am glad that I don'...See More
