Denver Math Fellows Program 5 DRAFT

What is the Denver Math Fellows program? 6 DRAFT

Why expand the Denver Math Fellows program? Pilot program demonstrated strong impact in FNE 4th Grade 79 76 We launched the tutorial pilot in 80 2011-12, and students were first 70 53 60 52 52 51 tested on TCAP in spring 2012. 50 50 47 50 2011 6th Grade 40 2012 30 20 70 61 61 61 2013 59 59 58 58 10 60 0 44 50 District 4th Grade Non ‐ Tutored 4th Tutored 4th Grade 39 (2013 N= 5934) Grade (2013 N= (2013 N= 148) 40 2011 5786) 30 2012 20 9th Grade 2013 10 80 69 64 0 70 District 6th Grade Non ‐ Tutored 6th Tutored 6th Grade 54 53.5 53 60 51 50 50 49 (2013 N= 5385) Grade (2013 N= (2013 N= 103) 50 5282) 2011 40 30 2012 2013 schools include: Ford Elementary, Green 20 Valley Ranch Elementary, McGlone Elementary, 2013 10 DCIS Montbello MS and HS, Collegiate Prep 0 Academy HS, High Tech Early College, Noel District 9th Grade Non ‐ Tutored 9th Tutored 9th Grade Community Arts High School 7 (2013 N= 4352) Grade (2013 N= (2013 N= 382) DRAFT 3970)

Denver Math Fellows core components 45 minutes of daily small group tutoring in 4 th , 6 th and 8 th grades. • • Pullout intervention that does not supplant daily mathematics instruction. Program utilizes “Do the Math” at 4 th grade, and “Do the Math Now” • and “Navigator” at 6 th and 8 th grades. • Lesson sequence is standards ‐ based with a clear objective, “do now,” “exit ticket” and adaptive instruction based on student mastery of objectives. • Students are assessed five times per year via the Scholastic Math Inventory (SMI). 8 DRAFT

Checkpoints on the way to successful implementation Jan • Roll-out program to school leaders 2013 Feb-Jun • Hire 313 math tutors and 22 coordinators 2013 Jun-Aug • Set-up tutorial environments in all schools 2013 Aug • Seamless launch with start of school 2013 Sept • Administer first SMI assessment by 9/ 13 2013 • Ensure early fidelity in implementation Sept-Oct 2013 9 DRAFT

Flexible Tutorial Fund Schools 10 DRAFT

Expectations for schools with flexibility in spending tutorial funding 45 minutes of daily math support during the school day, for 4 th , 6 th and • 8 th graders who scored below proficient on prior year’s TCAP math. • No more than 5:1 student ‐ to ‐ staff ratio. • Intervention is a pullout that is in addition to 75 minutes of daily core mathematics instruction. • Students should not be pulled out of any core instruction. • Lessons are standards ‐ based with clear objectives based on individual students’ needs. • Students are regularly assessed in relation to both foundational math skills and grade level content. 11 DRAFT

Checkpoints on the way to successful implementation Jan • Roll-out program to 66 school leaders 2013 Feb-Jun • Schools develop intervention plans and identify staffing 2013 needs for 13-14 Jun-Aug • Purchase intervention materials and interim 2013 assessment programs Aug • Utilize TCAP data to identify students in need 2013 Sept • Administer first SMI (or other interim) assessment 2013 Sept-Oct • Ensure early fidelity in implementation 2013 12 DRAFT

Progress Monitoring for 13-14 13 DRAFT

Impact goals for 2013-14 school year 1. TCAP Math proficiency will increase by 3.5% for tutored students. 2. Percentage of tutored students scoring a 50 MGP or greater will increase by 3.5 ‐ 5%. 3. Academic achievement gaps will decrease by 3.5 ‐ 5% for tutored students. 4. 100% of schools aligned with program parameters to ensure fidelity of implementation Denver Math Fellow Specific 1. 100% staffed and initially trained to start the year. Achieved. 2. Retain 90% of fellows throughout the entire year and develop a waitlist to backfill openings as needed. 14 DRAFT

How will we monitor progress during the course of the year? 1. Steady decreases in students testing “Below Basic” and “Basic” on each progressive SMI assessment. 2. From SMI 1 to SMI 5, see gains in numbers of students testing at or above proficient. 3. Math Fellow Development: weekly observations and coaching; monthly campus based training; weekly feedback survey by fellow and school. 15 DRAFT

Next Steps • Share SMI data after the completion of SMI 1 & 2. • Tour of elementary and middle school Denver Math Fellows program. • Presentations from schools receiving math intervention flexible funds to discuss their intervention approaches. DRAFT 16

Sum m ary Com m unity Process Last fall, 3 meetings were held with ECE Community leaders to discuss the summary process for expansion, both at DPS locations as well as Community Providers. This is the output from that group. Application Application Approval Contract Design Review May June Jan - Feb March  Based on ECE  3 member review  Align with CPP &  Up to set number Expansion panel per DPP rules for of seats for a Committee application consistency provider recommendations  Utilize the rubric  Compensation  Seats approved  Align with CPP designed by ECE decisions for specific contract for ease Expansion determined to locations within a of use by Providers committee align with CPP provider  On-site reviews for  Cap the total new applicants allocated seats to align with MLO funding DRAFT - 20 -

Com m unity Process Highlights • Forty ‐ seven community providers applied • Requested 1,400 slots • Used Committee ‐ developed rubric with three readers to score each application • Awarded 500 slots, or $1.5 million of mill levy funding, to community based on scores and high need priority areas • DPS now contracts with 35 providers with CPP, Mill Levy and ECARE funds for a total of $4.7M DRAFT

Analytical Snapshot of Community Allocations • To assess overall need, we primarily looked at remaining unmet need in a sub ‐ region. • We used the first round wait list data and ECE to Kinder ratios as a secondary measure of demand. • Using these three data points, we were able to determine the weighted points (60% weight on remaining unmet demand, 20% on wait lists, and 20% on ECE to Kinder ratios). • If a sub ‐ region did not have a remaining unmet demand, the region was considered as limited needs since demand for DPS seats would not necessarily align with community provider demand.
