Greta – intro and set up.

2. Focus for the Year
How might we, the mathematics education community, make a difference in the teaching and learning of mathematics that promote rich, rigorous, and relevant mathematical experiences for all students? What key actions should we consider?

3. Learning Targets We will strengthen our ability to:
Develop and sustain a community of learners that focuses on putting the shifts into practice that reflect the CCSS vision; both around making sense of the mathematics and demonstrating that understanding. 
Deepen our understanding of resources and opportunities to support CCSS and the Smarter Balanced Assessment system.
Learn together how to design, deliver, and evaluate the effectiveness of professional learning that bridges the knowing-doing gap. 

4. Agenda Welcome – Learning from each other Doing Math
An Equity Perspective: Rich, relevant, & rigorous mathematics for all students
Supporting Professional Learning: How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing?
Resources and Opportunities
Closing and Next Steps
Lunch :
Continued Networking

5. Networking – Sharing our Practice
Thinking about your role:
One or two of your current improvement efforts in supporting mathematics
Efforts to provide rich, relevant, and rigorous mathematics for all students
Efforts to support your colleagues on-going early learning around mathematics, teaching practices, and belief systems
Remy

6. Networking – Sharing our Practice
Thinking about your role in supporting math improvement efforts:
Questions, Successes, & Barriers
Private Think Time to respond
Find someone not at your table. Take two minutes each share your responses to the first question.

16. Four “A”s Text Protocol
Purpose: to explore a text deeply in light of one’s own values and intentions
What Assumptions does the author of the text hold?
What do you Agree with in the text?
What do you want to Argue with in the text?
What parts of the text do you want to Aspire to or Act upon?
Adapted from Judith Gray, Seattle, WA 2005

17. Four “A”s Text Protocol
Four Rounds – Go around sharing your responses to each prompt – starting with a different person each time.
What Assumptions does the author of the text hold?
What do you Agree with in the text?
What do you want to Argue with in the text?
What parts of the text do you want to Aspire to or Act upon?
Adapted from Judith Gray, Seattle, WA 2005

18. What are the implications for our work as District Math Leaders?

19. Supporting Professional Learning: How do we bridge the disconnect between knowing/doing gap?

20. Teacher Education by Design

21. In the introduction – teachers have the opportunity to learn about the instructional activity, to learn the mathematics, and to learn about how children understand the mathematics.

22. Primer

23. Benchmarks in the Development of Understanding the Equal Sign
Children can explain what they think the equal sign means.
Children accept number sentences that are not in the form of a + b = c.
Children recognize that the equal sign represents a relation between two numbers ­- the equal sign means “the same as” and they calculate the quantities on each side.
Children can compare the mathematical expressions without actually carrying out the calculations
Based on Carpenter, T., Franke, M., & Levi, L. (2003).

25. Planning Tool Step 1: Choose and Prepare a True/False Task
Step 2: Introduce Task to Students
Step 3: Turn & Talk
Step 4: Elicit Student Ideas
Step 5: work toward Justification
Step 6: Closing the Task

28. How can this design help us bridge the disconnect between knowing and doing? How can we better assess the impact of professional learning?

29. Next Steps?

41. Digital Library & Interim Assessments
The SBA is working to make intentional connections between the assessment system and instruction. They are working on creating instructional supports for the interim assessments that will provide teachers with resources they can use to help support students in areas they did not show proficiency.
The Digital Library will have a document for each grade and IAB within that grade showing resources within the DL to support those students who scored below proficiency, resources for students who scored at or near proficiency, and resources for students who scored above proficiency on the given IAB.
An initial sample document will be posted in the Digital Library sometime in September. SBA will continue to develop these support documents throughout the year for each grade level.
