WELCOMEHIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS & PRINCIPALS

Day 3 Educator Effectiveness AcademySummer 2011

DAY 3The participant will:

Continue to reflect on how the Standards for Mathematical Practice will be infused into daily instruction in the mathematics classroom.

Continue to investigate the content of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and related documents.

Find Someone Who

Outcome:

The participant will refine his/her understanding of the Common Core State Standards and the associated vocabulary.

• Mix and mingle, ask each other one question on the handout.

• Record the correct answer and the name of respondent

• Move to a new person and ask another question.

• Continue until the handout is complete.

Learning Progression of a Standard

Outcome:

The participant will develop a learning progression that includes a selected standard.

LEARNING PROGRESSION OF A STANDARD

1. In your group, discuss what a student must know before learning the targeted standard and what knowledge the targeted standard will support in later coursework.

2. Find the “Targeted Standard” in Appendix A or the appropriate framework.

3. Search the units before and after and courses before and after for standards that fall into a Learning Progression with this standard.

4. Record your findings on the provided table.

Sample Response

• The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics were developed with consideration for research-based learning progressions that detail what is known today about the development of students’ mathematical knowledge, skill, and understanding over time.

• Examination of selected standards that exemplify a learning progression from one grade/course to another is intended to provide evidence of this fact.

SUMMARY

PrincipalsWelcome to Session 2

Day 3Outcomes for Session 2The participant will:

•Identify the Standards for Mathematical Practice that would be employed while completing a selected rich open-ended mathematics task

•Identify standards that need support and offer suggestions regarding the types of support that would be useful

Summary

PrincipalsWelcome to Session 3

Day 3Outcomes for Session 3The participant will:

•Make connections between the message delivered by a motivational speaker and the Standards for Mathematical Practice

•Formulate a plan for training teachers at their school

Dan Meyer VideoOutcome

The participant will make connections between the message delivered by a motivational speaker and the Standards for Mathematical Practice

• While watching the video, look for connections between Dan Meyer’s message and the Standards for Mathematical Practice

• Independently answer the provided questions

• Share responses with your table group

Dan Meyer Video

SummaryHow does Dan Meyer’s philosophy on instruction compare to the Standards for Mathematical Practice?

ReflectionOutcome

The participant will formulate a plan for training teachers at their school.

• Independently, use the guiding questions to prepare discussion points to share with your school team

• Share discussion points with members of your group

Reflection

What should be included in upcoming Educator Effectiveness Academy sessions/webinars to help with the transition to the Common Core State Standards?
