4 Math units for students entering in 2009 equivalent to or higher than the level of Algebra 2 unless the parent submitted written, signed
permission for the student to complete a lesser math unit
Algebra 1 offered in Grade 8 by 2008-9 in regular classroom settings or through on-line courses or agreements with high schools.
The Promise of these New Requirements:Students better prepared
for the college and workplace (21st Century Jobs)!
High School Redesign (SB561)
Supports for 4 years of Math
American Diploma Project (ADP) New 9-12 aligned Standards
Summer Math & Science Institutes Federally-funded Math & Science
Partnerships (MSP) Strategic Action Plan for Math & Science
ped.state.nm.us/div/math_science/dl/MathSciStrategicPlan fv.pdf “Statewide voluntary math curriculum”
Statewide Voluntary Math Curriculum
Does NOT replace currently selected textbooks!
Is a “toolkit” of materials that will include Prerequisite Skill Items Higher Order Thinking Skills Items Sample Activities Assessment Items from NAEP and/or
TIMSS Sample Lesson Plans
Uniform Curriculum in Districts (HB911)-school district’s math, language arts, and
science curricula and related professional development must align to state standards for each grade level so that students who transfer between public schools within the school district receive the same educational opportunity

-LA and Science in SY 2009-10
Supports for 4 Years of Math
Supports for 4 Years of Math
Algebra 1 in Grade 8 This year about 60% of middle schools
are offering Algebra 1 Almost 20% of G8 students are taking
Algebra 1 G7 Math NMSBA Proficiency Levels of Students Taking Algebra in G8 in 2006-7
1 2 3 4 7% 41% 44% 8% Note: statewide only 23% were at level 3 or 4
Challenges for 4 Years of Math
More students entering high school better prepared for math
Courses and other supports for students who not prepared for high school math
Ensure that increased requirements don’t lead to “watered-down” courses ADP Model Courses
More Challenges for 4 Years of Math
Identify options for a 4th course More well-trained math teachers Expand post-secondary role in offering
courses to high school students Develop Distance Ed - Cyber Academy
courses Clarify role of Advanced Placement

Mandated High School Assessments
Senate Bill 561 The readiness assessment system shall include
the following components (by ’08-09):(1) a high school readiness assessment in English,
reading, math and science in the fall semester of G9;
(2) a college readiness assessment in English, reading and math in G10; and
(3) a workplace readiness assessment to assess applied skills in reading, math and locating info in G11.
Current high school grad exam sunsets on July 1, 2010
Implementing the Assessments G9
G9: Locally administered Diagnostic Assessment (High School Readiness)
Provide tools/data for teachers to support instruction & for administrators to monitor student progress
G8 NMSBA forms basis for starting pt of the diagnostics process
Administered in Fall & thruout year Computerized combo of NMSBA & diagnostic
assessments State funds for implementing the program In 2008-9 in both G9 and G10
Implementing the Assessments G10
G10: State-administered SBA (College Readiness)
Measures student mastery of Standards
Current G9&G11 will be replaced w/ G10 SBAs in Math & English
Science & Soc Stu will remain in G11 Will serve for both accountability (AYP) &
graduation Link to ACT, SAT, etc.
Implementing the Assessments G11
G11: Locally administered Workplace Portfolio (Workplace/Post Sec Readiness)
Assess student readiness for post-secondary ed & the workplace
Allows for different paths for different careers Aligned to NM Career Clusters Electronic w/ fixed categories & some required
content Multiple measures (Next Step Plans for planning):
ACT/SAT, WorkKeys, projects, workplace perfor-mance, EOC exams, AP scores, leadership, grades
Tests for Graduation
Current tests go away on July 1, 2010 Replacements?
New G10 Math and English (chance to repeat in G11 if failed)
Science and Soc Stu may continue in G11Portfolio if continued failure??
