====**Skaith SIP Goal #2** Skaith Elementary will close the achievement gap for F/R students compared to non-F/R students. There will be no more than a 10% gap between these subgroups as demonstrated by the percentage of students in the upper 2 levels of Mathematics MAP, while the total percentage of students in the upper 2 levels of Mathematics MAP will outperform the state average by at least 10%.====

**Overview**
Through Skaith’s implementation of the Math Workshop, teachers are able to meet the individual needs of the students. Skaith Elementary teachers will focus intensely on learning more about how students learn mathematical concepts. Cognitively Guided Instruction is a proven “best practice” model, researched at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. CGI provides teachers with an insight on developmental mathematical thinking. Skaith teachers will use this information to design lessons and a unit that will scaffold student’s thinking while using mathematical investigations to learn specific mathematical skills for their grade level.

The math cadre will construct or identify the format for all documentation for this objective. They will compile all information into a Math Portfolio and store it in the “teaming room”.
