[quote=Anonymous]The following is just my opinion and trying to make sense of this pilot program since there doesnt appear to be much on it... Based on the known pilot schools posted ITT: Lane, Union Mill, Va Run, Baileys, Rolling Valley, Herndon, and Lake Anne. It seems clear they are targeting ES without LLIV. These elementary schools dont have an AAP commitment and chopping down advanced math would be fairly simple. A lot of these schools roll up to MS without LIV AAP as well like Stone, Liberty, and Irving. So if the schools feeding them arent preparing kids for 7th grade Algebra, there is no need to offer it. As noted, the goal is increased 8th grade Algebra 1. This would appear as an equitable outcome if no one is ahead in 7th grade. Unfortunately, we just dont know what E3 schools are doing for 5/6... so the middle school stuff is just speculation. The next wrinkle here is the remaining LLIV schools. If they all move to clustering, maybe the e3 schools will move to LLIV clustering as well. No centers, just LLIV with everyone driving to 8th grade algebra and an AAP curriculum for all other subjects. Its not the end of the world if kids dont have 7th grade algebra, but it does seem a little antiquated in the time of tech and is clearly aimed at equitable outcomes. Other states are teaching Algebra to gifted students in 6th.[/quote]
