Upcoming Feedback

As we embark on instructing through Chapter 10 of GoMath, it is my hope that you will

attempt implementing both iReady and ThinkCentral as support to the curriculum. You
are receiving a digital and hard-copy of this presentation, along with the trackers for
both iReady and ThinkCentral.

In two weeks, you will be emailed the link to a second survey for feedback regarding
your test run. J
