[quote=Anonymous]The key is teacher specialization. One teacher teaches math to between 100 - 150 students in one grade. That teacher can then prepare differentiated lessons in one subject only to cover the range of abilities in the grade.

Example: Jefferson has 20 core teachers for 273 student in 3 grades (this doesn't include specials teachers or special ed staff, etc.). That is 6 core teachers per grade with grades smaller than 100 students. They have 7 class periods plus lunch. I have no idea how they schedule now, but clearly they have enough teachers to make the logistics work with so few students.

Their PARCC scores suggest they would need 3 remedial groups of PARCC 1s, one of 2s, and 1 of 3s, one group of 4/5s. That covers 6 of the seven periods for the math teacher, who then has one other period for either LEAP or another class. So they need 3 math teachers to do that --- but they already have 5, so no added cost.  Do the same for each core subject and the school even has teachers left over. [/quote]
