Math Fellows Heather Dorsey

Purpose of the Fellows To be a part of and support a system that focuses on math making sense for all students. --Leadership in the Extended Community To be a part of a community of learners that focuses on putting the shifts into practice to reflect the CCSS vision both around the student making sense of the mathematics and demonstrating that understanding. –Leadership of Others and Self To deprivatize our practice and take risks in order to facilitate high quality mathematics instruction and experiences students have with the mathematics. –Leadership of Self

Facilitating Adult Learning

Working with Adult Learners Building Trusting Relationships and Adult Learners. What do you notice about how you assessed yourself in this area? Where do you need to build capacity when you work with adult learners?

Adult Learning: Group Dynamics and Knowing Yourself Read ‘Predictable Dynamics in Groups’ article. Draw 4 lines representing the continua from the article and label them like this: TaskRelationship CertaintyAmbiguity DetailBig Picture AutonomyCollaboration Mark an ‘X’ where you see yourself on each continuum. What are the implications of these preferences for you as a Fellow and your work to implement the Common Core?

Adult Learning: Charting Preferences and Knowing Groups Divide poster into four quadrants and label (see example below). Collect your group’s thinking in each quadrant of the poster Words or actions that might convey this stance: When it might be effective for a leader to speak from this stance: When this stance might be an ineffective choice: What a person in this stance might not be able to do effectively:

Padlet Consider the questions on the padlet sheet that relate to Adult learning and pick two to respond to.

Leadership of Self and Others Connecting to your own context To deprivatize our practice and take risks in order to facilitate high quality mathematics instruction and experiences students have with the mathematics. –Leadership of Self To be a part of a community of learners that focuses on putting the shifts into practice to reflect the CCSS vision both around the student making sense of the mathematics and demonstrating that understanding –Leadership of Others and Self

Implications of the Task Leadership of Self Look at your students work and discuss: What patterns do you see in the students’ work? What evidence do you have to support your answer? What common misconceptions did you notice? What experiences in mathematics do we need to provide our students?

Implications of the Task Leadership of Self 1 per table in each Padlet Room Discuss task reflections with a focus on: What were the common themes around the mathematical content and practices that you noticed? What are the implications for your math instructional practices?

Considering our Students within Mathematical Practice 3 Leadership of Self MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Explore the task from Illustrative Mathematics in your Grade Band. How does the task contribute to student access of SMP 3? How does the commentary and the solutions support the underpinnings of SMP 3?

Connecting to your own context Leadership of Others Purpose: To be a part of a community of learners that focuses on putting the shifts into practice to reflect the CCSS vision both around the student making sense of the mathematics and demonstrating that understanding –Leadership of Others and Self

Briefly share around the table (approximately 1 minute each) what your plans are to support CCSS implementation through your Fellows work in your own context. Discuss at your table: What work have you begun in implementing your plan? What potential barriers might exist in accomplishing your plan? What successes have you encountered in developing/implementing your plan? Connecting to your own context Leadership of Others

How does your learnings as a Fellow support your work in your district/building? What more do you need to support your work? Connecting to your own context Leadership of Others

Authentic Student Mathematics Goals Principles to Actions pgs 7-16 Work together with your group to provide an example of a goal statement of the type described (pg. 12–14, Discussion). How does your goal statement connect to TPEP Student Growth Goal critical attributes? How can the development of specific math goals support other practices for effective teaching and learning? (pg. 10)

Formative Assessment Process Defined Formative assessment is a deliberate process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides actionable feedback that is used to adjust ongoing teaching and learning strategies to improve students’ self-assessment, reflection and attainment of curricular learning targets/goals.
