After a thorough review of available curriculum options from traditional publishers and open source resources, a pre-selection committee of reviewers comprised of teachers and district staff members convened for three days to assess potential products for adoption. The committee worked in grade-level teams and subject teams to apply rigorous alignment criteria from the Instructional Materials Evaluation Rubric to the potential products. Products which failed to meet the rubric criteria were eliminated from the review. All teams submitted summative ratings on the products they reviewed. The top two products were presented to math teachers across the district for feedback. Material information was placed on the district website and materials were available at the Teacher Training Center on October 4th, November 1st, and December 6th from 5 pm to 7 pm. The final recommendation was made by the district adoption committee comprised of the preselection committee chairs, a professional development representative, an instructional resource representative, a digital integration representative, and principal representatives convened to review the preselection committee reviews, teacher feedback, public comments, and the materials.

The instructional materials proposed for adoption through this agenda item are subject to the provisions of section 1006.28, Florida Statutes. After the approval of materials by the School Board, a parent of a Clay County District Schools’ student or a Clay County resident may file a petition contesting the adoption of these instructional materials within thirty (30) days after the date of the adoption (which is no later than February 7, 2019). The petition is available on the District's website at www.oneclay.net.

If the School Board receives any timely and properly completed petition(s), with the thirty days after the 30-day period has expired, the School Board must conduct at least one open public hearing on all petitions timely received. The petitioner will receive written notification of the date and time of the hearing at least seven days prior to the hearing. The School Board’s determination at the end of the hearing is final and not subject to further petition or review.

Instructional materials for Math were last up for adoption in 2012 for K-5. At that time, Go Math! Florida was adopted. In 2013,  Go Math! Florida was adopted for grades 6&7 Advanced and Carnegie was adopted for grades 6-8 standard.  Also in 2013, for grades 9-12, the district adopted Carnegie for Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry as well as Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications and PreCalculus: Mathematics for Calculus. The instructional materials that have been selected will provide the teachers of Clay County with high-quality materials that will best serve our students

K-12 Math is currently up for adoption 2018-2019. Statute requires a district to adopt within two years and to fully purchase within three years.  The data listed below is a three-year comparison of Clay County’s state assessment data for math. These data include ALL students tested. No modifications have been made to accommodate school grade calculations.

The proposed adoption will provide Clay County a viable instructional resource for teachers to plan and deliver engaging lessons. Students will be able to interact with the instructional material to maximize learning outcomes and increase achievement in Mathematics
