Jennifer McDaniel
Clay County High School Shows Greatest AP Gain in National Program

2010 CCHS Mean: 6.4	2011 CCHS Mean: 29.1
Global Mean: 21.4	Global Mean: 27.6

Jennifer McDaniel applied what she learned in the Master Teacher project and saw marked results with her own students. Because of these results, she began working with other AP teachers in her school, sharing tools and strategies that they could apply to their own classroom.  Among the 44 Kentucky public schools participating in Advance Kentucky, Clay County High School led the way with a one-year growth of 634% in Advanced Placement (AP)* math, science and English (MSE) qualifying scores – from 11 to 81.  This number is the best in the state among participating program schools with at least 10 qualifying scores from the previous year.  Gregg Fleisher, National AP Training and Incentive Program Director of the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), said “…in 2011 Clay County High School had the single greatest year in the history of the AP Training and Incentive Program, which dates back to 1990 involving hundreds of schools in seven states.”

Jeremy Miller
Lee County High School – Dual Credit Certification Data

High school pre-calculus is taught conceptually. I lay the foundations for trigonometry, logarithms, exponential growth and decay – all heavy concepts for students to understand. I use the time in class to help students determine their misconceptions and correct those. We look at specific ACT problems in these topics to help them meet and exceed the math benchmark so that they have the scores necessary (22 on the Math, plus Reading and English benchmarks) to be able to take College Algebra/College Pre-Calculus.

College Algebra:  97.4% pass rate

Susan Stringer
Casey County High School Math Program Growth
2007-2011

Susan saw improved student learning which she attributed to her involvement in the Master Teacher project.  By sharing her learning with her entire math department, her school’s math program:

• ranking went from 140th to 21st in the state,
• moved from a Persistently Low Achieving to a Proficient school, and
• the percent of students scoring Proficient/Distinguished on KPREP rose by over 40%.

Academic Year	% Scoring Proficient/Distinguished
2007	26.99%
2008	36.36%
2009*	47.88%
2010	53.76%
2011	62.3%

Year	% Scoring Proficient/Distinguished
2011-12	63.1%
2012-13	56.4%
2013-14	74.3%

Regardless of the assessment given, the students have scored well which is a testimony to the change in practice that happened in the math classrooms.
