• District Survey for the IM Math Curriculum (Please click the attached link)

  Hello MS172 Community,

   

  As we come to the close of our first year implementing the adopted IM Math Curriculum, the District 26 Math Team would like to take a pulse on how these shifts are impacting our middle schools. We have designed a set of questions based on the implementation tool provided by the curriculum provider.
  
  There are many strengths our school and math community have demonstrated with the new curriculum, and of course, as with any new curriculum, there are challenges that we still face. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand these impacts and plan our next steps.
  
  Please take a moment to answer the survey linked below. Your responses will provide crucial feedback for the district and guide our future actions.
