INCREASED LEARNING TIME
15, 10:15 – 11:15
Piñatas, scooters, Xboxes, Lil Wayne, and duct
tape continue to work alongside word walls, data
disaggregation, team planning, and goal setting
and attainment in the recent successes actualized by
Edcouch-Elsa High School’s Math Department.
Confronting the challenges facing a Stage 5 school and
new-and-increased academic requirements, the EEHS
Math Department has instituted an eclectic approach to
extended learning opportunities, student investment,
academic vocabulary, and team collaboration to help
raise student math scores to some of the highest in the
region for the second year in a row—and meet federal
AYP required improvement levels for the first time in
nearly a decade.

Our session will focus on strategies for increasing
successful collaborative opportunities within and among
departments; utilizing vocabulary strategies for LEP,
SPED, and struggling learners; developing positive and
exciting tutorial atmospheres; and tailoring instruction,
assessment, and data usage to positively impact student
success.
