John Adams High School Implements Innovative Algebra Support Program to Aid Student Success
John Adams High School in South Bend, Indiana, has introduced a comprehensive strategy to assist students struggling with algebra. The school assigns students to math classes based on their previous academic experiences and test scores. A key component of this strategy is the pairing of a traditional algebra course with an 'Algebra Lab,' which focuses on helping students recover basic math skills. This approach is complemented by tutoring, co-teaching with special education teachers, and targeted professional development for educators. The initiative aims to address the anxiety students may feel about their math abilities, as highlighted by McNeal Stewart, a math teacher at the school. This program is designed to support both students and teachers, providing a model that could be beneficial for other districts facing similar challenges.
