New math standards getting high marks from some local teachers
08.25.08
This summer, the math teachers of Cowlitz County have joined thousands of math teachers statewide in training to meet the state's new standards for higher math achievement.
"It's really powerful and exciting because students are going to benefit so much," said Rebecca Fountain, kindergarten teacher at Butler Acres Elementary School.
Fountain and other teachers statewide received training in the new math standards earlier this summer at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
In a four day session last week at Kelso High School, they brought the training to elementary and middles school teachers from Kelso, Toutle, Castle Rock and Wakiahkum.
