AGENDA  Welcome  Announcements  Ice Breaker  Scope & Sequence Review  Breakouts  Middle School – Library  High School – Cafeteria  Evaluations & Closure

FACT, FICTION, or TRICK STATEMENT 1)The Curriculum Department needs teachers to volunteer for curriculum writing for the new MS and HS TEKS.  (Fiction: teachers will be paid to provide input and feedback) 2)The importance of the Department Chair’s role will be heightened during this period of implementing new MS and HS TEKS.  (Truth: since we will not have trainings specific to the new TEKS, attendance at DC meetings is crucial for learning about and sharing important information needed for student success on STAAR.)

FACT, FICTION, or TRICK STATEMENT 3)The only STAAR mathematics test on which students may use calculators is the Algebra I EOC.  (Trick Statement: this is currently true, but beginning in , Grade 8 Math STAAR REQUIRES the use of hand-held graphing calculators.) 4)The district-wide AP Initiative applies only to AP Calculus.  (Fiction: it also involves using SpringBoard as a resource in middle school mathematics classrooms.)

FACT, FICTION, or TRICK STATEMENT 5)The Curriculum Department provides curriculum only for the schools involved with the PowerUp initiative.  (Trick Statement: The PowerUp curriculum is available for all teachers to use; the new MS curriculum planning guides will include PowerUp connections as well.)

IMPLEMENTING the NEW 6 – 8 TEKS What’s being taught when? A vertical look at the new TEKS: Proportional and Algebraic Reasoning Order the TEKS strips onto the blank template: grade 8 at the top to grade 3 at the bottom Any surprises? Ah-ha’s?

HB 5 UPDATE  Prescribed graduation plan for  HISD students will default to endorsement plan  All freshmen ( ) other grade levels may opt in for endorsements  Only STEM and multidisciplinary have above Algebra II requirement  Algebra II is considered an advanced math
