Ione schools adopt new math
curriculum
By Andrea Di Salvo
The Ione School Board
approved a new math cur-
riculum at its April 25 board
meeting. The curriculum,
Oregon Math from pub-
lisher Big Ideas Learning,
is a kindergarten through
twelfth-grade curriculum
aligned with National Geo-
graphic Learning.
Schools are required to
adopt curricula every sev-
en years. The Ione School
District did a curriculum
adoption last year, but for
language arts, not math.
The curriculum committee
this year included all of the
elementary school teach-
ers, and Ione Elementary
Principal Tracey Johnson
said Oregon Math was the
unanimous decision.
“The teachers really
like this one. It has good re-
sources, the online portion
of it,” she said. “And we
like the consistency K-12.”
In fact, Johnson said
consistency was a big draw
with Oregon Math, since
the school would be using
the same math curriculum
for every grade level, rather
than having different curric-
ula for elementary, middle
and high school classes as
the school has had to do in
the past.
“It is the same curric-
ulum for K-12, which will
make it very consistent,”
Johnson told the board.
“Same language, same ver-
biage all the way from
kindergarten through 12 th
grade.”
“It maintains some of
what we know as math in-
struction while incorporat-
ing new math,” added Ione
District Superintendent and
Secondary Principal Kevin
Dinning. “We felt like the
other one was all story
problems. Which might
be right up some students’
alley, but we do, on the
secondary side, still value
that repetitive practice bit
of traditional math.
“So we felt like it was
a good middle ground of
both strategies for math,”
Dinning added.
“Same for us,” said
Johnson, adding that the
alternative seemed to move
through new concepts too
quickly. “It (Oregon Math)
focused on those strategies
rather than moving so fast.”
Oregon Math was also
under budget. It’s a sev-
Rate or Amount Approved
en-year contract, and John-
son said it’s about $22,000
for K-12 including in-per-
son training for the staff,
which she felt was import-
ant so the staff could get to
know the curriculum and
ask questions before having
to use it. In-person training
added around $3,000 to the
base price.
Johnson said they want-
ed to get the order in soon,
so the curriculum didn’t
come in piece by piece as
happened with the English
Language Arts curriculum
last year.
“Our goal is to get it all
here, and to get it here be-
fore school starts,” she said.
Dinning also asked the
board to start considering a
secondary online curricu-
lum suite. Dinning said he
and Johnson had discussed
it as an option for the school
to expand course offerings
at the high school level. He
said there was an option that
offers AP content, which
Arlington currently uses.
“It has a pretty broad
offering of things that we
would not be able to offer
in-house to our students,”
said Dinning. “We think
it’s an opportunity to solve
some problems we have
with our master schedule.
I think it also settles some
upper-level math and sci-
ence issues if we are not
able to find a staff member
who’s highly qualified to
teach them.”
The superintendent
said it would give the
school the opportunity to
offer everything from psy-
chology to health services
so they can tailor a student’s
education to their interests.
“There’s no online pro-
gram that I think we’re all
going to agree on is great,”
said Dinning, “but this does
provide us with some flexi-
ble options.”
Several Ione residents
also were at the meeting to
see what was happening at
the school.
“We’d like to see more
word out in the community,
which we don’t seem to be
getting,” said Betty Gray.
“So we decided to come to
the meeting and see what
you guys do.”
Council members
thanked them for their in-
terest and updated them on
current board projects, such
as the bond, math adoption
and the need for school
spirit efforts again.
“It’s easy to get inter-
nally focused,” said school
board president Rob Crum.
“Obviously, commu-
nication is an issue with us
with public information, so
we’ll continue to work on
that,” added Dinning. “To
make sure we don’t feel like
everybody knows what’s
going on because we know
what’s going on.”
Crum also addressed
the issue of needing more
staffing so classes didn’t
have to be combined, and
Dinning added that the
school was making a con-
certed effort to make sure
that even combined classes
had appropriate on-level
core instruction.
“We just ask you to
keep being engaged with us
so we can hear from you,”
said Dinning.
“Some of the more
hot button topics that I’ve
been hearing from com-
munity members have been
concerns over student and
staff retention and school
climate, and there’s a lot
of folks that have a lot of
questions to ask and things
they’d like to say,” said
community member Jeff
Clabaugh, “and work to-
gether with the school dis-
trict so the school receives
more support from the com-
munity.”
“You’re here because
you like the town,” said
Crum, “and we know that,
so don’t be afraid to speak
up.”
In other business, Din-
ning reported that second-
ary school teachers recog-
nized 40 students in the
Cardinal of the Quarter
awards. He said the school
had three middle school
students who did not miss
a day or get marked tardy
during the third quarter.
“That was kind of a
cool thing for us to see,”
he said.
He added the having
awards quarterly seemed
better than monthly, be-
cause it seemed like a lot to
execute in a student assem-
bly each month.
Dinning also reported
that 23 staff members qual-
ified for an innovative in-
centive bonus. The district
