Co-Presenters Emma Druitt Director K-8 Math Justin Pickens K-6 Math Teacher on Special Assignment 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
