Great Oaks is a place where colleagues actually show up for one another, share resources, and step in to help. Math Curriculum and Support
Our middle school uses Mid-School-Math, designed to engage students through multimedia and traditional methods, inclusive of a well-designed curriculum guide, pacing, and all required materials. Additionally, math teachers at the middle school have a non-evaluative support coach to assist with planning and delivery.
