Access & Equity Core Mathematics Partnership Building Mathematical Knowledge and High-Leverage Instruction for Student Success 11:30-12:00 July 28, 2016

Initiate Response Evaluate “Teacher starts by asking a question to gather information, generally with a specific response in mind; a student responds; and then the teacher evaluates the response (Mehan 1979).” - NCTM Principles to Action Pull quote on page 37 on pattern of questioning and time allotted

Promoting Equity through the Teaching Practices Read the excerpts from the forthcoming NCTM book: “Promoting Equity through Facilitating Meaningful Mathematics Discourse” and “Promoting Equity by Eliciting and Using Evidence of Student Thinking” Find and highlight 3 sentences that resonated with you.

Sharing Out: Pick one sentence to share out within your group As a table group, select a person to start the sharing session. Each person shares one sentence with no cross-talk After the last sentence is shared, pick one of the ideas to discuss further.

Promoting Access & Equity What does promoting equity and access mean to you now in terms of your own mathematics classroom? “Inviting student participation and creating opportunities to engage with another’s reasoning in strategic ways can help ensure that important mathematical ideas are raised, unpacked, and utilized by all students, not just the ones who first originated the idea publicly.” Make sure positioning comes out. Chart answers to question, end with the quote
