  1. Catch ‘em Before They Hit the Ground Chris Shore Great Oak High School The Math Projects Journal

  2. Geometry: from 1st Progress to Semester Report Card (‘09-’12) 12-15% 0-9% District Final improved over 3 years from 74% to 85%. When You Catch ‘em … Single Digit Failure Rates are Possible! Algebra Essentials: from Unit 1 to Unit 2 (’12-’13) 33% 3% 29 of 30 passing! Unit exams improved from 74% average to 86%.

  3. “Students are solely responsible.” A Coach’s Mind Set The Paradigm Shift

  4. Who Do We Have to Teach? ALL!

  5. Why Do They Succeed & Fail ?
