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.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""> </font><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">Basically, the district abandoned
</span><u style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">all</u><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class=""> commercial programs, textbooks, etc. and attempted to educate its children via tablets and ipads and teacher-invented curricula.
</span><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class=""> </span><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">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
2</span><sup style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">nd</sup><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class=""> grade level).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""> </font><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""> </font><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">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?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""> </font><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">Thanks for your advice, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">Ed</font></p>
