Parent Input on Curriculum

Right now is your LAST CHANCE (between now and Tuesday morning) to make a difference in your child's Math education. The district is choosing curricula.....and right now I think they might be leaning towards the programs I think are better, but it could still go either way. Like many of you, I have been concerned with the current methods of teaching math (reform math) in our schools and I’m ready for a change. With your help, this change might happen.


I am asking you to do one of the following (or all three).

1. Go to the Monday evening meeting to review the materials and write your response.
OR
2. Visit the curriculum websites below and give your feedback via email on which curriculum you prefer. Email to Dr. Tony Byrd, assistant superintendent over teaching and learning http://us.f327.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=ByrdT@edmonds.wednet.edu and Dr. Jackie McDonald, Mathematics Coordinator, http://us.f327.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=mcdonaldj@edmonds.wednet.edu.
OR
3. Just send a quick email by Monday night either explaining in general what you are looking for in a math program or what you dislike about the current curriculum, or actually "voting" for Math Expressions (K-5) and/or McDougal Littel (Algebra, Geo, Alg 2).based on my recommendations. http://us.f327.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=ByrdT@edmonds.wednet.edu and Dr. Jackie McDonald, Mathematics Coordinator, http://us.f327.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=mcdonaldj@edmonds.wednet.edu.
