[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But I think the advance math tracks are safe. FCPS is planning on preserving them, and that was before the election.[/quote]

There was a post in the FCPS forum that said they got an e-mail from their school that Fairfax was moving away from accelerated math and was inviting the parent to a pilot class of teaching multiple levels in the same class.[/quote]

That’s not what that post said.  :roll:

"We will hold a virtual meeting for our 3rd and 4th grade parents this evening at 6:00 PM to discuss the math program we are piloting this year. The county is moving away from Advanced Mathematics courses which are focused on acceleration of mathematics concepts and moving toward instruction that provides increased engagement, advanced rigor, and opportunities for ample extemsions. This program is intended to meet the needs of any learners ready for more depth and complexity of the mathematics curriculum. Incorporating math instruction that will help children increase their level of understanding of the math curriculum will help students become more successful as they progress through higher levels of mathematics in middle and high school."[/quote]

Could you provide more context?  Which year, which school?[/quote]

Don't hold your breath. No details were given the last time someone made this claim. It was never confirmed.

I asked FCPS about it. It's a thing. It's called E3 (E cubed). There's more to it than that email says. They are doing extra on top of the VA SOLs in each grade. They are teaching the teachers as if they were gifted teachers on real differentiation - whether the teachers will be able to do it with 28 students remains to be seen. I can post the info I got from FCPS about it if people want.[/quote]
