Overview: K-9 Initiative

Project Description:

The EKU Math Education Team is working with elementary and middle grades teachers in the Corbin Independent School District. This Pilot Program initiative combines a comprehensive basic skills initiative centered on automaticity, numeracy and mathematics fluency and a comprehensive testing and remediation program. In this pilot program, teachers have been empowered to create grade level end of course skills tests to evaluate individual students for placement and remediation. This ongoing initiative [Year 2] has shown promising initial results with phase two [remediation schedules] being instituted. The Math Education Team is currently working on the details of expanding the elementary and middle grades portions to other selected schools in the EKU service region. Plans are underway to offered day-long region-wide professional development sessions for schools and districts interested in participating in this initiative.

The K-9 initiative is provided to school districts at no financial commitment. However, school districts are required to provide release time for teachers to attend regional meetings and participate in a K-9 learning community (K9LC).
