Morse HS Math Department Partners with the San Diego Math Project to Transform Math Instruction
Morse HS is one of three high schools in our district to receive a California GEAR UP grant to support classroom instruction and the only high school to use the grant to focus specifically on math instruction. The grant provides an instructional coach for the cluster, serving both Morse HS and Bell MS for six years. In addition, the grant sponsors a partnership with the San Diego Math Project for additional support. On Tuesday, December 11, the entire Morse HS math department spent the day discussing instruction and assessment in PLC groups with three members of the San Diego Math Project, their instructional coach, and an administrator working side by side with them. In February, most of the high school math department teachers will participate in a Lesson Study, led by the San Diego Math Project and their instructional coach, with participation expected from the Bell MS 8th grade math teachers. The combined dedication of the math teachers in the Morse Cluster and support from the GEAR UP grant will undoubtedly result in the development of a model secondary math program that prepares all of their students with meaningful 21st century skills.
