In this session, we will share how our school leveraged the master scheduling process and real-time data analysis to create a responsive, student-centered approach to Algebra readiness for sixth grade students. Using data from the 2023–2024 school year—including benchmark assessments, classroom performance, and teacher observations—we designed a flexible instructional model that adapts to student needs in real time.
Our approach centers around a strategically scheduled Algebra Readiness class, supported by collaborative teacher teams, flexible student movement, and targeted instruction. Through intentional grouping and ongoing progress monitoring, students are moved between whole group, small group, and co-taught settings based on current performance and conceptual understanding. Teachers co-planned and shared ownership for groups of students, adjusting content delivery and pacing in a dynamic, needs-based structure.
The “flex” in our model refers not only to flexible scheduling but also to flexible mindsets—among staff and students. You’ll learn how we created space in the master schedule to support this model, built systems for analyzing math data meaningfully, and empowered educators to make instructional decisions that prioritized growth over labels.
Participants will leave with examples of flexible scheduling templates, intervention models, and collaborative planning structures that can be adapted to fit a variety of school contexts. If you're looking to close gaps, boost math confidence, and build a smarter schedule—this session is for you.
