SEC: NY State only - Math A

[Carolyn Gierke <cgierke@SHS.K12.NY.US>]

Our Math teachers would like some information on how other High Schools in
NY state are implementing the Math A  curriculum.

Since the students have to take the Regents after three semesters of the
course, we are in need of information  on how schools are handling kids
who are slow at math and need extra time.

Specifically: Are all students placed in heteroeneous classes, or are some
students placed in a special group  and allowed to work on the subject
matter at a slower rate?

The state merely requires that students pass the exam to graduate, not
that they pass it after 3 semesters.

Some information would help our Math committee with their decisions.

TIA
