Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 School Year!
Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 school year! The math department at both campuses did a wonderful job with improving math teaching and learning. We are making great gains in math, and the plan is to continue the upward trend. The goal is to make Jasper County School District a premier school district within the state of South Carolina.
Professional Learning Opportunities
Professional learning opportunities are offered to teachers and schools at the request of building-level administrators. The PLOs offered this school year are listed below. PLOs can be catered to fit the needs of teachers and schools.
Math Support Documents
The SC Department of Education provides math support documents to assist with planning and instruction. All support documents have a suggested scope and sequence. JCSD's curriculum documents are slightly different, but the standards are still the same. Use the support documents to get additional support with making sense of the standards, get ideas on how to teach the standards, and tasks/activities to support student learning.
To access your grade level, scroll down to "SCCCR-M." Click on your grade level support document. The standards at the top of the page are the new standards that we're not using this school year. The link to the page is below.
South Carolina Test Blueprints for the 2023-2024 School Year
According to the SC Department of Education,
"The test blueprint for each subject specifies the total number of points on each grade-level test, as well as the approximate number of points per reporting category or domain. Reporting categories group similar standards within each content area. Each reporting category classifies a student’s performance as “Low,” “Middle,” or “High.” This classification is based on the subset of items that assesses the reporting category. The possible number of items for each reporting category can be found in the test blueprint." Retrieved from Test Blueprints - South Carolina Department of Education - 09/22/2023 10:02 AM (sc.gov)
