Abstract:
|
This paper reports on a study that investigated how patterns of student learning and achievement associated with regular use of a Standards-based curriculum—TERC’s revised Investigations curriculum—compare with patterns of student learning and achievement associated with regular use of other more traditional curricula across third-grade students delineated by ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES). Moreover, in this paper, I explore the following question: How does the revised Investigations curriculum influence ethnic- and SES-related achievement gaps among third-grade students? The Indiana University Content-Focused Third-Grade Assessment was administered to approximately 380 third-grade students from eight schools located within a Midwest urban school district in both the fall and spring. The findings indicate that those students who may benefit from the curriculum the most are not those often considered to need mathematical empowerment the most— the low-SES, minority students— but rather, are the white, higher-SES students. |
