Our assessment lacks balance
Our curriculum and our tests are at odds
Our gains in elementary math scores not sustained in secondary grades
Our hard won test gains have stopped
Our math program is not serving all kids
Our professional development efforts are not having much impact in classrooms
Our teachers are not getting through their grade level curriculum
Our teachers need a deeper knowledge of the mathematics they are teaching
Our teachers need help establishing problem-solving environments
Our teachers need support in engaging students in mathematical discussions

We experience frequent changes of administrative leadership
We have a mandate to align tests with standards
We have a mandate to implement a standards-based curriculum
We have too many students who lag behind
We need to build leadership capacity throughout our district
We need to find and use web-based resources more effectively
We need to help our parents support their children's learning
We produce short-term gains but students quickly forget
We want to shift teachers' attention from what they are doing to what students are doing and thinking
