[Simtrainer-l] Math programs recs

[Graner, Patricia Sampson]

A great source to see reviews of elementary and secondary programs is the #evidenceforessa site from Johns Hopkins.  Remember that the work that Margaret Flores and Bradley Kaffar have been doing with Cecil Mercer and Susan Peterson Miller’s is terrific.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently assisting a ‘failing elementary (k-5) school, as well as an ’about to fail’ middle school in an effort to turn things around. About 7 years ago, the school district was cursing along with B+/A- performance levels when its leadership made a series of truly bonehead decisions that resulted in a steep and rapid decline in performance.
 Basically, the district abandoned all commercial programs, textbooks, etc. and attempted to educate its children via tablets and ipads and teacher-invented curricula.  As you might guess, math performance outcomes are about as low as they can get (e.g., roughly 80% of the middle school students’ math skills are 2nd grade level).
 Due to turnover over the years, few of the teachers have any experience using evidence-based programs and their pedagogical skills are quite limited, to say the least.
 Thus, I’m looking for recommendations for evidence-based math programs that are highly structured, systematic, and incorporate on-going progress monitoring for formative assessment… more or less synonymous with what might be used as Tier 3 intervention for math. Can you recommend any commercial evidence-based math programs that might fit this need? If not Tier 3 in nature, then can you recommend a really good Tier 1 evidence-based math program?
 Thanks for your advice,
Ed
