Numeracy Focus for the 2025–2026 School Year

For the 2025–2026 school year, our learning journey will continue through a mathematics lens, with a strong emphasis on Numeracy development across all grade levels. Our goal is to ensure all students understand what Numeracy is, how to demonstrate and communicate being Numerate, and what proficiency in Numeracy looks like. Ultimately, we want students to confidently apply and transfer their Numeracy skills in meaningful, real-world contexts.

As a school-wide team, we have aligned our professional learning and instructional planning to support the development of numeracy competencies. Collaboration with teacher consultants to ensure effective strategies and practices will also foster numeracy development and student success.

Our approach is anchored in the following key elements:

• Collaborative sessions focused on high-yield instructional routines and effective planning strategies
• Strengthening classroom instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners
• Building student confidence through exposure to a variety of problem-solving strategies
• Implementing fall and spring school-wide assessments to monitor progress
• Developing a shared understanding of what proficiency in numeracy looks like

With ongoing support from district math consultants and district resources, targeted professional development, and a clear, collective focus among staff, we will use both fall and spring assessments to track growth. Additionally, FSA results, report card data and valuable anecdotal feedback from our teaching staff, will help us evaluate progress as a learning community.
