Math in Common?

Our Community 10 districts learning together to lead the way in CCSS-Mathematics Implementation 4

Co-Presenters Eric Frandsen Math Project Specialist Mikila Fetzer Math Project Lead Dianne Willson Math Program Specialist

What is Math in Common? A Community of Practice with 10 California school districts, serving nearly 400,000 students, working together toward: Providing professional development opportunities to support strong instructional practices Aligning instructional materials to the higher demands of CCSS-M Building leadership capacity throughout the participating districts Developing strong evaluation plans, including formative and summative measures.

Ed Partners’ Approach  District Teams create a vision for instruction and assessment  District Teams set desired outcomes aligned to their vision and grounded in data  District Teams identify and implement key actions connected to each desired outcome  District teams create a monitoring approach, both formative and summative, to continuously understand if their efforts are making progress toward their desired outcomes

Essential Questions "How can we use a student observation form, with calibrated observers, to identify increase in quality of student-to-student discourse? How do we make sense of the evidence and act on our findings?

Case Study #1 District: Garden Grove Nick will add demographic info Nick will add district logo Dr. Emma Druitt Director, K-8 Math

Case Study #1: Focus on Peer-to-Peer Academic Discourse : Created Discourse Observation Tool to measure quantity of discourse Collaborated discourse observations in 37, 6 th -8 th grade classes (fall & spring) utilizing tool Administrator and TOSA training in use of tool 39, K-6 sites (1 grade level) and 3, 7-8 sites (math classes)using tool to determine next steps Summer Math Institute focused on discourse (40 teachers, 2 hours instruction, 2 hours PD for 9 days)

Student Transcription Sort

Case Study #1: Focus on Peer-to-Peer Academic Discourse : Majority of students scored “Beginning” on the Discourse Tool 31 of 40 Summer Math Institute teachers joining the Discourse Collaborative Administrators at 10 intermediate sites trained to use discourse tool and using it with math classes K-6 Administrators to receive “refresher” training in January to use with 2 grade levels

Case Study #1 Continued 3 Greatest Learnings from

Case Study #1 Continued 3 Greatest Learnings from cont… Teachers were unaware of how to incorporate opportunities for authentic discourse into math lessons (beyond pair/share) More explicit professional development was needed for teachers in the area of discourse as well as how to train their students

Case Study #1 Continued What changes did your team make from school year to this one based on your learnings? Modified the tool slightly to incorporate suggestions from the SMI group (comment box) Offering explicit professional development in peer-to-peer discourse through the Discourse Collaborative
