Objectives � Develop a deep understanding of the CCSS Math standards & the new Smarter Balanced assessments. � Understand the role of building and district team leadership in supporting the implementation of the new standards. � Create a common vision of the strong connections between CCSS Math and new teacher and principal evaluation criteria and instructional frameworks. � Share, find and create resources with other district math leaders in the region.

Key Learning �Deepen understanding of Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) & Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) �Focus on the 3 Shifts in Mathematics: Focus, Coherence, & Rigor �CCSS alignment in lesson design and curricular materials

Considerations �Experiences ◦ Workgroups ◦ District PD ◦ Conferences �Important Resources �Coordination with other District Initiatives Next steps Actions in the coming year Necessary tools and resources

Seven Stages of Concern (CBAM) Stage of Concern Typical Statement 0: Unconcerned “I think I heard something about it, but I'm too busy right now with other priorities to be concerned about it. ” 1: Informational “This seems interesting, and I would like to know more about it. ” 2: Personal “I'm concerned about the changes I'll need to make in my routines. ” 3: Management “I'm concerned about how much time it takes to get ready to teach with this new approach. ” 4: Consequence “How will this new approach affect my students? ” 5: Collaboration “I'm looking forward to sharing some ideas about it with other teachers. ” 6: Refocusing “I have some ideas about something that would work even better.

Eight Levels of Use Level Typical Statement Nonuse “I’ve heard about it but, honestly, I have too many other things to do right now. ” Orientation “I’m looking at materials pertaining to the innovation and considering using it sometime in the future. ” Preparation “I’ve attended the workshop and I’ve set aside time every week for studying the materials. ” Mechanical Use “Most of my time is spent organizing materials and keeping things going as smoothly as possible every day. ” Routine Use “This year it has worked out beautifully. I’m sure there will be a few changes next year, but basically I will use it the same way I did this year. ” Refinement “I recently developed a more detailed assessment instrument to gain more specific information from students to see where I need to change my use of the innovation. ” Integration “Not everyone has all the skills needed to use the program so that it has the greatest impact on student learning. I‘ve been working with another teacher for 2 years, and recently a third teacher began working with us. ” Renewal “I am still interested in the program and using it with modifications. Frankly, I’m reading, talking, and even doing a little research to see whether some other approach might be better for the students

Reading: Progress and Challenge “NCTM Principles to Action” �Assumptions-What assumptions does the author of the text hold? �Agreements-What pieces of the text do you agree with? �Aspirations-What pieces of the text do you aspire to or act upon for yourself and your colleagues?

Productive vs. Unproductive Beliefs

Beliefs “Teachers’ beliefs influence the decisions that they make about the manner in which they teach mathematics… Students’ beliefs influence their perception of what it means to learn mathematics and their dispositions toward the subject. ” (NCTM, 2014)

Productive and Unproductive Beliefs �On a 3 x 5 card, Mathematics Practice Beliefs individually brainstorm Productive and Unproductive Beliefs teachers have about mathematics.

11 th grade Cut Scores � The statute requires that the cut score for high school graduation has to be set by the end of the 2014 -2015 school year. In practice this will mean during summer of 2015, since we won’t have results until sometime late in the spring. The students in the Class of 2019 will need to earn the graduation cut-score on the SBAC or higher to graduate. For students in earlier classes, earning the graduation cut-score on the SBAC is one option for meeting the assessment graduation requirement.

Simulation for Generating an Argument ~Instructional Model 1. Identify the Task and Question 2. Generate a Tentative Argument 3. Argumentation Session 4. The Reflective Discussion 5. Final Written Argument

Stage One: Generating a Question and Beginning the Task • Martha wants to set up a soup stall at a Farmer’s Market and raise money for charity. • What questions do you have for Martha?

Selling Soup • Martha wants to set up a soup stall at a Farmer’s Market. • She hopes to sell 500 mugs of soup, each with a white or � She wants to make as much brown bread roll. profit as she can. � She doesn’t want to waste food at the end. � She needs to know how much of each flavor soup to buy and how many of each kind of bread roll to buy.

Stage 2: The Generation of a Tentative Argument Take turns to explain your idea of how to respond to Martha’s Soup Question. 2. Listen carefully to each other and ask questions if you don’t understand. 3. Once you understand each other’s work, agree together in your group on the best approach for completing the problem. 4. Outline on your large sheet of paper the approach you are going to use. 1. P-33

Stage 2: Generation of a Tentative Argument Claim: The answer to Martha’s question. Evidence: Data to support your answer. (data charts, equations, graphs, tables, explanations, etc. ) Justification: A rationale that explains why the evidence you use is relevant or important, along with any assumptions you have made regarding the problem. The Research Question: What exactly should I buy so that I can make the most profit and not have lots of soup and rolls left over at the end? Your group’s claim: Your evidence: Your justification of the evidence:

Stage 3: The Argumentation Session Students are given an opportunity to share, evaluate and revise the products or process of their investigation with their classmates. • Visit other groups. • Use the Gallery Walk Interview Questions to guide your discourse. • Give feedback and be ready to take ideas back to

Stage 4: A Reflective Discussion �Meet with your group ◦ Discuss anything you learned from other groups ◦ Discuss feedback on your group’s ideas �Modify/Revise original ideas based on feedback �Teacher facilitates whole class discussion ◦ encouraging students to share what they learned ◦ common challenges faced by groups

Stage 5: The Production of a Final Argument Each student makes sense of their experiences by producing a final argument �State the question and claim you are trying to support �Include evidence (data + analysis + interpretation) �Provide a justification of your evidence �Organize your argument in a way that enhances readability �Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors

Reflection/Evaluation • Please complete the online PD survey as well as the standard ESD clock hour evaluation form

Online PD evaluation In order to identify your ESD’s most effective professional development strategies—practices and supports that impact teachers’ instructional shifts along with performance outcomes for students—we respectfully request participants complete a survey at the end of a training or series of trainings. The purpose of the survey is to simply identify which pieces of the training(s) that we provide best support your needs as an educator. We ask for your name on the survey only to be able to match demographic and performance data to your responses. In no way will the data be used to evaluate you or your work. In fact, your name will be deleted from the record once the data are matched thus ensuring your responses are anonymous.

�The data collection will ensure the continuous improvement of professional development professional learning experiences for math, science and ELA. The collection of these data also helps to ensure the continued funding of free or low-cost, highquality professional development in math, science, and ELA. We deeply appreciate your cooperation. Thank you.
