[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like kids currently in second grade are totally neglected in this plan - slides 13-14 totally glosses over them. I don’t understand how to help my kid get what he needs[/quote]

Kids in 2nd grade get "enrichment" -- they've never been accelerated

Starting next year, the state requires that kids in grades 2-5 be regrouped by level for math class.  It's not totally explicit that they have to have them in separate classrooms based on their level (although I think that's what they mean), but at minimum it seems like it at least has to be cluster grouping.  But they are leaving 2nd grade out of the cluster grouping in the presentation.

"By SY 2026-2027, school schedules should be aligned to the MTSS expectations and the expectations below: 
a. In early grades PreK-1, schools must maintain heterogenous mathematics classrooms. Flexible grouping should be utilized to support and enrich student learning. 
b. In elementary grades 2-5, schools should purposefully and regularly regroup students for math instruction based on LEA developed MTSS math structures, including accelerated math classes."

“Regularly” is a loose definition. My third grader has math FIT once a week. It seems like this would meet the definition.[/quote]
