The Copiague Middle School mathematics department started the school year strong by conducting data chats via i-Ready, an online learning program, to analyze and discuss students’ performance. Teachers, staff developers and administrators will engage in ongoing meetings that promote constructive collaboration, identify trends in each class and develop a small-group instruction model. These small-group models will provide individualized instruction to all middle school math learners, ensuring they receive the support they need to become confident, independent problem solvers.
