This Wahington Post article talks about this KIPP teacher who created her own math curriculum. One year goes buy and the 5th grades students in the AIM Academy go from the 16th to 77th percentile. The scores were calculated from the Stanford 10 standardized test.
Even with that big of a gain in that exam they still did not meet No Child Left Behind Goals for the D.C. Comprehensive Assessment System test.
The curriculum lets students build their own notes and examples.
