Math Goal 3 – Increase capacity of teacher leaders to support CCSS-Mathematics professional learning.
“One of the most important ideas that I encountered is your constant modeling of quality teaching strategies. Another would be the time my teachers are given to learn from each other. The “math” thinking and sharing will help the teachers be more comfortable in their classrooms.” ~ Principal

+Fellows – Who Are You?
They are teacher leaders who support district and school Washington State Learning Standards (CCSS) implementation and instructional shifts for English language arts and mathematics.
They are part of a regional and state cadre who engage in common professional learning and leadership development.
They return to the district and/or building and lead other professionals in professional development with respect to the common learning.
