Common CoreMathematics Standards Transforming Practice Through Team Leadership
Needed Change The practices, more than the content, are what make the Common Core essential for student success: • Make sense and persevere in solving problems. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Needed Change The practices, continued: • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Needed Change This is what has to change: • Equity: focus on all students • Curriculum: ensure consistent, focused content focus • Teaching and Learning: monitor changes in instructional practices • Assessment: Common formative/interim assessment (DDI process) • Technology: appropriate implementation and utilization
Leadership Team Form a long-term leadership team • Administrators (principals, curriculum leaders, etc.) • Math coaches, instructional specialists, etc. • Teachers of math
Leadership Team Four strategies for leadership team: • Promoting adoption and avoiding rejection • Focusing on students brings success • Building support for collegial relationships • Maintaining support to increase implementation
Levels of Adoption Being strategic
Leadership Team Moves forward with pressure • Builds common knowledge • Communicates vision and plan • Is encouraging and supportive • Monitors progress
Focus on Students Big ideas: • Opportunity to Learn: guaranteed and viable curriculum • Timelines, scope & sequences, etc. • Materials • All classrooms • Assessed • Note: make sure old materials and ideas are removed
Focus on Students Big ideas: • Visible Thinking: conceptual fluency over procedural fluency • Metacognition • Math talk • Constructivism • Note: make sure “fluency” is understood
Focus on Students Big ideas: • Engaging Lessons: cognitive engagement • Active • High expectations • Writing and explanations • Students doing the work • Note: traditional lesson structure has to be discarded (HW-lesson-start HW)
Focus on Students Big ideas: • Group-Worthy Problems: students need to work together on challenging problems • Collaboration • Open-ended • Multiple pathways • Important content • Note: Math Solutions is great with this
Focus on Students Big ideas: • RtI: Data-Driven Process • common formative/interim assessment • Tier 1 • Tier 2 • PLC • Note: need to ensure that intervention is occuring
Common Core Instruction Teachers will need to • Understand the practices • Understand how kids learn mathematics • Be able to collaboratively unit plan • Know and apply effective strategies • Monitor learning (and adjust)
Sustain the Change Leadership team will maintain pressure via • Coaching • Ongoing professional development • Appropriate decisions about materials (carefully piloted by later adopters) • Classroom visits and monitoring • Communication of progress • Expectations for all teachers to work collaboratively
