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.

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.
