Barkley Bridge Elementary School

Embracing Tradition... Investing in Excellence

OGAP

A teacher and four students are learning in a classroom. The students are working on different activities, including writing, using an abacus, and building with blocks.

Barkley Bridge is an Active Part of OGAP

OGAP is a systematic, and intentional formative assessment system grounded in the research on how students learn mathematics. The OGAP system is seamlessly integrated into a set of tools, practices, support materials, and in-depth professional development.

 

OGAP is not a curriculum, but is used on an ongoing basis to enhance the existing math program. Teachers choose appropriate items from a databank of carefully constructed items, administer them in their classrooms as “exit slips” or quick assessments, and use OGAP learning trajectory frameworks to analyze the underlying student thinking that can guide future instruction to deepen student understanding.
