Staff at San Cayetano School continue to focus on providing explicit instruction in mathematics with carefully designed lessons that match the eight required shifts of mathematical practices. This includes a gradual release of responsibility to students who must be able to articulate their math reasoning in order to achieve true mastery. This school year we are excited to have the support of the SWUN Math program in grades TK-8 that works in partnership with all stakeholders in educating students, parents, teachers and administrators. A powerful part of that support includes onsite coaching.
