You are a fourth-grade teacher who has been instructed to raise your students' reading and math test scores
What strategies would you employ with students to increase their achievement levels in math? In reading? How might you involve the student's parents in
helping to raise their test scores?
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary and should include children having their own books, being able
to freely read them, utilizing a combination of phonics and the whole-language
approach, and connecting reading to other areas of study. For math, suggested
strategies are emphasizing basic skills and a broader conceptual approach that
includes problem solving, estimating, and probability, along with convincing students
that they are good at math. Parents may assist by taking an active interest in their
children's schoolwork, having their children read to them, and having children
participate in activities at home that involve math such as measuring, cooking,
shopping, and so forth.
