Trustees for the Saddleback Valley Unified school board will decide tonight whether to apply for a $200,000 state grant that aims to better students’ math skills by giving teachers extra training in that subject.
The grant would provide seminars and professional development courses to math teachers and school administrators in grades four through 12.
In these seminars, teachers would learn effective math teaching strategies as well as an “in-depth understanding” of the math skills required by California standards, according to a district report.
This training would also help teachers at lower grade levels understand how their efforts come into play at the upper grades.
The board meets at 7 tonight at the district offices, 25631 Diseno Drive, Mission Viejo.
