OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
Mathematics education in Vermont is currently centered on the Mathematics Grade Expectations (GEs). Mathematics GEs are organized into five areas: arithmetic, number and operations; geometry and measurement; functions and algebra; and data, statistics and probability; and mathematical problem solving and reasoning. Like the Grade Expectations in other content areas, the Mathematics Grade Expectations are more specific statements of the Vermont standards in Vermont Framework of Standards & Learning Opportunities.

- Mathematics and Science Partnership (MSP) Grant Program
The goals of the MSP are: 1) to increase the academic achievement of students in mathematics and science by enhancing the content knowledge and teaching skills of classroom teachers; 2) to build statewide capacity for professional development of K-12 staff by establishing networks of highly skilled teacher leaders in mathematics and science; and 3) to develop partnerships among K-12 educators, STEM faculty, and higher education personnel. Funds from the MSP are currently being used to support high quality professional development programs in Vermont:

Vermont Professional Development Network (VPDN) Wiki Link (Added 6/18/09)
Use this link to access the department's portal to the literacy, math, and science wikis that are used for planning and storing materials for the VPDN meetings. The content of VPDN meetings includes addressing Vermont’s Grade Expectations through local and state assessment, modeling effective instructional strategies, implementing 21st century skills and technology, and providing opportunities for teachers to learn and network together. The VPDN materials are available for viewing and downloading. NOTE: Pages are not open for commenting. |

NECAP Assessment Results
The NECAP reading, writing, mathematics and science tests measure students’ academic knowledge and skills relative to Grade Expectations which were developed by teams of teachers from Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. View the most recent data reports.
NECAP Resources
Use this link for information and links to practices tests, released test items, manuals and workshop materials for reading, writing, mathematics and science, as well as other resources such as tip sheets, hundreds tables, multiplication charts, scoring guides, alignment charts, target documents, test taking strategies, unifying themes, etc. |

Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC) Facilitator Toolkit
The SEC are practical, efficient tools for obtaining classroom data about math, science or literacy teaching. Online surveys completed by teachers produce visual maps of instruction that can be compared to the Vermont Grade Expectations. The surveys can also provide instructional data to investigate in relation to NECAP results. The following materials are provided to help facilitators develop understanding of the Survey content, levels of cognitive complexity, and data analysis:
- Instructions for Viewing Data
Step-by-step instructions for viewing instructional practice charts, instructional content charts, standards and assessments, and teacher data.
- Survey "How To" Guide
View instructions for registering, returning to an incomplete survey, participating in another content area survey, taking a post-SEC survey, what to do if you forget your user name and password.
