Swun Parent Meeting 10/17 at 8:30am-9:30am or
5:00pm-6:00pm
This year Armstrong is implementing a progressive research based math program called Swun Math. Swun Math analyzes school, and classroom data to provide concise and effective lessons for students to expose and work toward mastery of content based on the Common Core State Standards in mathematics.
Armstrong will continue to meet the kids where they are academically, carefully differentiating instruction based on group placement and the learning needs of each student. Formal and informal assessments are carried out throughout the year to inform planning and ensure meaningful instruction.
We look forward to partnering with you and to answer any questions regarding Swun during this session.
