PASS results indicated math as a weak area.
Based on input from the faculty, training on the use of a new textbook was an issue.
The SIT arranged PD on the use of the textbook.
The School Intervention Team also targeted students below grade level (Tier 1) for the following interventions:
Success Maker/Compass Lab
Math Tutor during the school day
Student progress was monitored by MAP results and Success Maker reports.
