Teacher to Teacher

The following information was sent to Nebraska administrators on March 20th.  Nebraska educators are encouraged to comment on the new standards.

“A draft of the revised Mathematics Standards is available for review and input March 23 – April 3.   Over the past several months, 100+ educators from across Nebraska have been working on a draft of revised Mathematics standards for grades K,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and High School.  We invite you to review and comment.  Please go to the following website http://www.nde.state.ne.us/math/documents/StandardsSurveyHomepage.html

“There are several helpful components on this web site:

• An introduction video detailing the organization of the standards document and corresponding rationale
• A PowerPoint accompanying the video including several key questions for survey participants to answer as they review the document
• The K-12 draft standards document
• The link to the electronic survey to provide input

“All schools are encouraged to participate.  Participants are able to comment as an individual or as a group.  Please remember this survey is to provide input on the content of the standards themselves – not on the statewide assessment.  Those pieces will come later.”
