Ogden Elementary’s previous math instruction was disjointed and had little relationship to state and national standards, which resulted in low achievement. The staff enlisted the help of an innovative Kansas State University math education professor. The collaboration resulted in a well-designed professional development program, which included action research, authentic assessment, and collegial support to dramatically transform math instruction. At the end of the first year, state assessments yielded the largest increase in math scores since 1991, and the school’s first State Standard of Excellence in mathematics.
