Small-Group Lesson Study

In this one-day session, a group of up to six participants collaborates to plan a lesson, observes the implementation of the lesson and records their observations. After the lesson, participants analyze the effectiveness of the lesson in meeting student needs and work together to plan future lessons using the strategies observed. This lesson study is designed to be conducted in small groups to afford reflection, collaboration, and deeper understanding of teaching and learning.

COMMON CORE

Leading the Way for Successful Implementation of Common Core Assessments

District leaders are quickly realizing two things about assessment under the Common Core:

• It will mean more than just new high-stakes tests.

• It’s going to impact schools long before 2013/2014.

To effectively prepare students for these new assessments and to meet the ultimate goal of the Common Core—producing students who are truly thinkers ready for a robust career or college—

districts need to be working these new types of assessment items into their classroom instruction now. This one-day workshop offers a balanced view of assessment under the Common Core and provides a deep focus on how the standards will drive changes at the state, district, and classroom levels.

OuTCOMEs:

• Explain how various policies and considerations are requiring changes in assessment practices at the state, district, and classroom level, and how those changes will impact accountability systems for administrators and teachers.

• Identify new types of formative and summative assessments that teachers and students will experience, and outline the important implications to classroom instruction.

• Outline key activities that district and school leaders should implement as part of an overall strategic plan for assessment, including increasing assessment literacy, deconstructing performance tasks, and facilitating the development and use of performance assessments in the classroom.

COMMON CORE

MATHEMATICS CONTENT-FOCUSED sEssIONs

The following sessions provide a way for teachers to examine the content shifts by grade level in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

Teaching for Conceptual Understanding:

Number and Operations in Base Ten

This one-day workshop examines the content shifts by grade level for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) with an emphasis on the domain of operations in base ten. Participants explore the changes in the language and the focus of the new standards.

They examine how to use existing resources to help students meet the expectations for the content domains of the Common Core.

OuTCOMEs:

• Articulate the learning progressions necessary for students to conceptually understand base ten operations.

• Identify strategies for helping students build their mathematical understanding of base ten operations.

• Use a planning template to build lessons that strategically support the conceptual development of base ten operations.

• Identify strategies that support simultaneous development of conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills with the intentional use of purposeful student struggle, flexible grouping, and ongoing assessments.

• Articulate common misconceptions as opportunities for students’

conceptual understanding of base ten operations.

Fractions

This one-day workshop examines the content shifts by grade level for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) with an emphasis on fractions. Participants explore the changes in the language and the focus of the new standards. They examine how to use existing resources to help students meet the expectations for the content domains of the Common Core.

OuTCOMEs:

• Articulate the learning progressions necessary for students to conceptually understand fraction concepts.

• Identify strategies for helping students build their mathematical understanding of fractions.

• Use a planning template to build lessons that strategically support the conceptual development of fractions.

Ratios and Proportional Relationships

This one-day workshop examines the content shifts by grade level for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) with an emphasis on ratios and proportional relationships. Participants explore the changes in the language and focus of the new standards.

They examine how to use existing resources to help students meet the expectations for the content domains of the Common Core.

OuTCOMEs:

• Articulate the learning progressions necessary for students to conceptually understand ratios and proportional relationships.

• Identify strategies for helping students build their mathematical understanding of ratios and proportional relationships.

• Use a planning template to build lessons that strategically support the conceptual development of ratios and proportional relationships.

Rethinking algebra: Focus on the Content and the Mathematical Practices of the Common Core

This comprehensive, two-day workshop examines key algebraic concepts from a mathematical point of view. It addresses the content demand that teachers be prepared to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate the eight Mathematical Practices of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) in algebra.

With a focus on differentiated and active engagement strategies, participants learn how they can successfully pave the way for increased student achievement in algebra by translating the following pedagogical content knowledge into classroom practice:

• Essential Understandings of Algebra

• Algebra and the Standards for Mathematical Practice OuTCOMEs:

• Identify ways to support simultaneous development of the mathematical skills and expectations by focusing on the five strands of student proficiency:

– Adaptive Reasoning – Strategic Competence – Procedural Fluency – Conceptual Understanding – Productive Disposition

• Connect instructional strategies for teaching algebra to the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

• Identify instructional skills and strategies that facilitate understanding of a student’s capacity for using variables, doing and undoing, building rules to represent functions, and abstracting from computation.

• Outline teaching strategies that make mathematical relationships explicit in an intentional and public way.
