Realizing the Need for Change

School corporation hires an SREB consultant

Negative feelings from the math department initially

Realization that there were no other options and we had nothing to lose

Math department became a team and began to work together and accept the change

Page 6: Extreme math makeover

textbooks “behind” and let the standards dictate the curriculum

Math department met often to reorganize the standards

Looked at every standard and put them in an order that would benefit the students the most
