Dear Dr. Tomback:<br />
The attached grant proposal Boundless Opportunities for MSA Success [Mathematics] provides<br />
information relative to the projected use of SuccessMaker – Mathematics as an intervention in<br />
the eight HCPS schools not meeting AYP due to the special education subgroup. In addition, I<br />
have included the decision-making process document used for considering needs germane to this<br />
initiative.<br />
The schools were identified as a result of the 2008 Maryland School Assessment (MSA), the<br />
schools were identified for eligibility in the SFY2010 State Discretionary Grant to address the<br />
State improvement priority for achievement--specifically for special education students--to<br />
promote improved achievement for these students to ensure they and their school system meet<br />
AYP for reading and mathematics.<br />
In addition to the data contained in the grant proposal, information from the 2008 – 2009 Title<br />
One pilot of SuccessMaker supports its implementation. SuccessMaker was piloted at Halls<br />
Cross Roads Elementary and Havre de Grace Elementary with a total of 83 third grade students,<br />
63 fourth grade students, and 65 fifth grades students utilizing the intervention. A preliminary<br />
review of student performance on the 2009 MSA – Mathematics demonstrates the following:<br />
Halls Cross Roads Elementary<br />
87% of third graders participating in SuccessMaker taking MSA 09 Mathematics scored<br />
Proficient or Advanced.<br />
81% of fourth graders participating in SuccessMaker taking MSA 09 Mathematics scored<br />
