Over the next two years Kings Park will decrease the unadjusted achievement gap on the Math SOL of Students with Disabilities (baseline 20%)  and Hispanic (baseline 10%) compared to all students by:

• 2020-2021 by 3% (H= 7%, D= 17%)
• 2021-2022 by 3% (H=4, D= 14%)

Strategy 1  Across math strands, teachers will  develop a deeper conceptual understanding of the continuum of mathematical learning that will increase student conceptual understanding and procedural fluency.

Strategy 2  Redesign instruction to have a greater emphasis on students’ conceptual understanding of math concepts and help students utilize this understanding to develop procedural fluency.
