3. CCGPS Precision Review Status Report
K-12 Mathematics Advisory Council members are currently reviewing the recommendations of the precision review teams and RESA Mathematics Mentors.
Advisory Council approval is anticipated by March 16, 2011.
In the spring/summer of 2011, district and school level leadership will be provided with information sessions developed and delivered in collaboration with RESAs.

4. CCGPS Precision Review Status Report
School year will be focused on professional learning for K-12 mathematics educators.
The mathematics team has coordinated with IT division representatives to develop the professional learning blueprint for both initial and ongoing professional learning opportunities.
Race to the Top and Gates grants will target sustained and technology-enhanced professional learning and will provide the needed funding.
Data analysis will direct decisions regarding the specific focus for professional learning.
Educators will be provided with the curricular standards and maps at each grade level and/or course by summer Every mathematics educator will be able to participate in a fall 2011 orientation; plans are to follow up with grade level and course professional learning in the winter of We are working with IT to offer ongoing professional learning video clips for teachers as they progress through the course.

5. Next Steps Communication to Stakeholder Groups
Professional Learning and Resources for Mathematics Educators
Student Remediation and Support

6. Communication to Stakeholder Groups
Next Steps
Communication to Stakeholder Groups
Curriculum Director Monthly Newsletters and Webinars
Mathematics Supervisor Monthly Webinars
Middle School/High School Educator Listserve s and Webinars extended to Counselors
Communication of the specifics of the short term solutions to all who are impacted must be comprehensive and timely.

7. Professional Learning and Resources for Mathematics Educators
Next Steps
Professional Learning and Resources for Mathematics Educators
Overview Webinar in Spring 2011 for educators
Resource Packet provided in Spring 2011 to include standards for courses, course overview, framework units, and online resource availability
Monthly update webinars for unit overviews, along with time to address questions and concerns, during the school year
Transition packets and a placement matrix for use with transfer students available in Fall 2011
Again, the mathematics educators who will implement the changes must be apprised of the specifics immediately. Resources and support mechanisms must be put in place immediately as well.

8. Remediation and Support
Next Steps
Remediation and Support
Mathematics Project EXPRESS
Online GHSGT Preparation – 2 week program
Ongoing Teacher Support via webinars and Correspondence
Both teachers and students will continue to require our support. Teachers need to be aware of the foundations of mathematics which will enhance a student’s chance of success at a technical, 2 year or 4 year college. Teachers continue to need an opportunity to share successes and challenges…among them are the instructional experts of our profession and often listening to other educators prompts the implementation of additional classroom strategies to meet the needs of ‘struggling students’.
