A review and familiarization of Common core Standards in Mathematics
Teachers presented the Math practices and standards
-each stands alone (8 common across the grades)
-replaces previous Mathematical thinking standards
Timeline
-Jane presented a draft of the PCS Roadmap to Implementation of CCS
- We are weak on informational text, generally
-How will we introduce this across the district? Build teams to provide general presentations to staff at staff meetings. Considering 2 ELA and 2 Math groups (at Elem and HS levels) to provide 15 min. presentations. We're the resource and Project LEAD. (Mary and Jean G. to present in a mini-conference at VV on 12/7). Can Project LEAD conduct a train the trainer? Can we use Mary's ppt?
-Ellen presented the top 10 tips for facilitating presentations:
1. Stay neutral
2. Scan group for faces, check for understanding
3. Review change document
4. Put it back to the group. "What do you think?"
Elem ELA
-Nat'l Standards, dev appropriate
-timeline review
-review snapshots
-input and questions from staff
Elem Math
-Phil Daro, reference
-Nat'l Standards
-CST test, the PARK w/3 types of ?s (and level of cognitive demand)
-CA additions
-Unit planning, not lesson planning
JH ELA & Math
-Curriculum committee minutes
-Present at same time (ELA & Math)
-Not a choice, a reality and a shift
-want ppts
HS EL/Math
-present timeline and why (other states' usage)
-snapshots shared (not overwhelming)
-Solicit FAQs
-Share MA's sample problems

Comments:
-group work/group thinking shown in a variety of forms (time consuming, rich, deep work). This does not coordinate with our assessment calendar. Phil Daro, a resource for CC development
-Project LEAD will have some video references
-For integration purposes, PD is required for all teachers (not just Math).
-Algebra, Geometry, Trig (discreet classes) vs Math 1, Math 2 (as in Europe)
-Practice 3, viable arguments and critiques, a particular challenge and a big change. Importance of adopting common language.
-New teachers could serve as models of strong implementers of curricular depth supported with technology and integrated curriculum.
-We could collect FAQs from CCS presentations & share answers on the wiki
-We anticipate less opposition. Questions though.
-Elementary teachers felt that they could present to their sites. With a ppt, we would have the same messages despite different presenters.
-We anticipate questions about how we're going to fit it in, especially at certain sites. The other work that we're doing as a district(EL focus, POP, focus groups, etc. support this work of learning deeper.)
Questions:
-Implementation- When will we get/use new materials?
Materials not funded until 2 years in (assuming schedule remains the same)
-What does it look like? We need to see it. Videos/PD needed.
-Where is/will be the formal support for developing integrated curriculum with technology?
-Best way to present to large campuses? How do we decrease anxiety? Some see SLCs as a natural place for CCS rollout. Ask SLC facilitators about the best way to roll it out.
-Sample test items? Some on the MA website.
