Integrated Statistics and Quantitative Reasoning (ISQR) for High School Mathematics Early Exploration Project

WestEd seeks public school districts and state and local charters to participate in the Integrated Statistics and Quantitative Reasoning (ISQR) Early Exploration Project. New Mexico is one of five states invited to participate in this national project to expand high school course offerings. In the ISQR Early Exploration Project, WestEd will be partnering with districts to investigate what would be necessary for schools and districts to pilot a new rigorous high school mathematics course designed to integrate quantitative, algebraic, statistical, geometric, and data literacy concepts and strategies to empower students to live skillfully and productively in our data-driven society. Integrating these disciplines gives students a more realistic picture of approaching problems utilizing these concepts and strategies. This approach pulls together all of the available tools and resources to tackle different parts of the task to reach a more comprehensive solution.

Below is a project overview that will give you more information about participating in the project. WestEd is expecting to identify the Early Exploration districts by January/February with activities starting in March. There is also an opportunity to join the project as a pilot site later on.

The Math and Science Bureau is hosting a one-hour webinar at 4:00 p.m. on Tues, Jan 28, 2025, for interested teams to learn more information, discuss the project with the developers, and answer any questions.
