BMS math teacher, Stephanie Johnson is utilizing the program this year and students have once again made grade level gains in math. “The students have been working hard on Ascend Math. At the beginning of the year students set a goal of which level they would like to advance to,” explained Johnson. “Most of them set very hefty goals to progress three or four levels. They have about an hour a week to work and are making great strides.”
Brownwood Superintendent, Dr. Joe Young also noted the improvements during the Brownwood Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, March 15th, providing the board with the grade level gains and statistics reported by Ascend.
“Ascend Math added a ‘Base Camp’ which is a game area where they earn time through the lessons completed. That has helped tremendously in keeping them engaged,” added Johnson. “Students are bridging their gaps at an individualized level much more than one teacher can provide. I’m very proud of my students and the progress they’ve made towards their goals.”
