ORATION-COMPLACENCY+Weezy)
INCREASE LEARNING TIME
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.
