Mark Freed Mathematics Education Specialist Oregon Department of Education State of the State Oregon Math Leader Conference 2014

Strategic Initiatives Update Connecting the World to Work – Regional STEM Hub Grantees Regional STEM Hub Grantees Six regional hubs awarded grants – STEM, STEAM and/or CTE Program and Activity Grant STEM, STEAM and/or CTE Program and Activity Grant 87 proposals, 16 awardees Network of Quality of Teaching and Learning – Series of 3 regional PLT conferences in fall, winter, and spring during school year – District grants to support Educator Effectiveness and Common Core implementation

Looking forward to PLT CONFERENCES Professional Learning Team Conferences – First day general sessions, keynote speakers – Second day, series of six break out sessions (Math, ELA, Science, ELP/ELL, Ed. Effectiveness [SLG, IRR]) Goal to establish a learning community of math leaders representing every school district – Support conversations and activities throughout the year (Oregon Portal if possible) – Train an expert group of educators to provide expertise in finding, evaluating, and sharing instructional materials

Looking forward to INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Facilitated Independent Reviews – Piloted regional reviews in SOESD and Hillsboro SD – One day PD training on how to use Oregon Instructional Material Review Toolkit (OR-IMET) followed by three days of review (~2 programs per day) – Fall 2014 – intend to share OR-IMET, PD modules, and results from regional reviews Revise IM statues (ORS 337) and rules (OAR ) Participate in a possible multi-state collaborative to develop open education (OER) courses in CCSS Math and ELA

Looking forward to TITLE IIB (Math & Science Partnerships) Continued support of four STEM Partnerships – Enter third year of three year grant – Transition to be supported by regional STEM hubs Release RFP for – Anticipated release first week of August – Submit proposals Oct. 1 for funding in November 2014 – WebEx Mid-August to go over expectations

Areas of Focus for TARGET 1: Supporting quality instructional materials – Help find, share, evaluate, modify and create quality materials TARGET 2: Supporting quality instruction and learning – Implementation of Instructional best practices found in NCTM: Principles to Action TARGET 3: Support quality assessments & feedback – Help transition to Smarter Balanced, and best practices using both summative and formative data

Aligning to Focus Areas TITLE IIB (Math & Science Partnerships) OPTION 1 – Development of professional development opportunities to find, evaluate, share and modify quality instructional materials in math and/or science (Target 1 & 3) – All materials will be shared state-wide under open license (e.g. creative commons) OPTION 2 – Development of professional development opportunities to help develop more instructional leaders in math and/or science (Target 2)

Aligning to Focus Areas INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Share resources and tools to support independent review of materials (Target 1) – Start with materials to evaluate basal programs – Optional ODE support of independent reviews in PD Supporting understanding of alignment to CCSS Math (Target 1, 2, & 3) – (1) Focus, (2) Coherence, (3) Rigor [application, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency], (4) Math Practices – Develop PD to support the evaluation of supplemental resources (e.g. tasks, lessons, units) Share and disseminate results of independent reviews (Target 1) Participate in development of multi-state OER resources (Target 1)

Aligning to Focus Areas PLT CONFERENCES Establish learning arc through three sessions – FALL: [Portland: 9/25-26; Eugene 10/7-8; LaGrande 10/14-15] What makes a quality instructional material? Where can I find it? (Primary Target 1: Quality Materials) – Winter: [Portland: 2/10-11; Eugene 2/19-20; LaGrande 3/3-4] How do I implement with fidelity? (Target 2: Quality instruction; NCTM: Principles to Action) – Spring: [TBD: June 2015] How do I know students learned it? How could I make it better? (Target 3: Quality assessment & Feedback)

Aligning to Focus Areas PLT CONFERENCES How can I help? – General support planning PLT activities (20-30 leaders) – FALL: Investigate possibility to contract PD (tentative: Illustrative Math/UofAriz.) Table facilitators at each site (~5-10 each location) – Winter: Teachers and coaches to provide instruction PD (NCTM: PtA) Table facilitators at each site (~5-10 each location) – Spring: Teachers and coaches to support PD on evaluating student work Table facilitators at each site (~5-10 each location)
