The Math Blueprint - Navigating through the Standards with a Road Map and myOER by Marcia Torgrude, Kim Clark, and Sherry Gettemy Edmodo Code: hhjk2s
What is happening nationally? • Many state and district officials say textbook publishers are scrambling to catch up with the common standards and few, if any, materials that truly align are available. • …. it's not simply a matter of flipping a switch to have instruction at all grade levels reflect the new standards. After all, a lot of math content builds on prior learning. Big Shifts Ahead for Math Instruction, Education Week, March 22, 2013
What is happening nationally? • The Howard County district, Maryland, is working on many fronts to implement the standards, from providing professional development to revamping its curriculum, in an effort to be sure schools are ready for all the changes to the what, when, and how of math instruction envisioned with the common core.

What is happening nationally? • “We know what we are being called to teach - how do we selectively choose the problems and questions in our textbook, rephrase introductions to lessons, reorganize lessons in units to attend to the new focus and coherence of the common core?” (Howard County, Maryland) Big Shifts Ahead for Math Instruction, Education Week, March 22, 2013
What is happening nationally? • "There was not a textbook out there that we felt reflected the common core, we felt like the textbook companies were just reorganizing the chapters of their old books. We wanted to teach our students in a different way, to make sense of the mathematics and make connections.“ • http://www.mathematicsvisionproject.org/ Janet M. Sutorius, a math teacher at Juab High School in Nephi, Utah Educators Craft Own Math E-Books for Common Core, Education Week, March 22, 2013
What is happening nationally? • "You can't say, from one year to the next, we're going to go 100 percent common-core standards, because students aren't coming with the [prior knowledge] to embrace it,“… "Over the next several years, we're introducing them incrementally, building teacher capacity and student capacity."

What is South Dakota doing?What is your state doing? • Statewide professional development for ELA and Mathematics teachers K-12. • Work groups disaggregating the Common Core Standards and writing kid friendly learning targets • Work groups developing blueprints to help guide your instruction • Work groups curating the best lessons on the web and aligning them to the common core standards • Work groups analyzing the new SmarterBalanced assessments to assure they are well-developed and appropriate for our students.
Your Math Curriculum and the Common Core Standards • Do you need help working with the new common core math standards? • Are you stuck with a math curriculum that is not aligned to the Common Core standards? • Will experience with the new K-12 math blueprints help guide you? • Where can you find the best lessons to improve student achievement?
Our Goals Today • Understand the Common Core Standards and how they function • Learn how to use the blueprint as a guide • Understand how to utilize the blueprint to fit what teachers already are doing related to the Common Core • Learn where to go for resources using myOER.org • Personalize your blueprint and lessons using LiveBinders – all connected to the Common Core
Four Corners 1 • You have old curricula • Use the blueprint as your guide and find resources within your curriculum to meet the standards • Find Gaps • Use myOER to fill the gaps 1 2 3 4
Four Corners 2 • You have new common core aligned curricula • Use your curriculum as a guide and adjust the blueprint to match your curriculum (Investigations)or; • Use the blueprint as your guide and find resources within your curriculum to meet the standards • Find Gaps • Use myOER to fill the gaps 1 2 3 4
Four Corners 3 • You want to build your own curriculum using your old curriculum, new curriculum, and new resources • Use the blueprint as a guide to locate appropriate lessons from your curricula, myOER, and personally developed lessons to complete each instructional focus making sure all standards are explicitly taught and assessed. 1 2 3 4
Four Corners 4 • You want to build your own curriculum • Use the blueprint and the beginning exemplars to build your curriculum • Use myOER or personally developed lessons to complete each instructional focus making sure all standards are explicitly taught and assessed. 1 2 3 4

myOER • Go to myOER and create an account
myOER • Questions to consider: • What are the benefits of each search? • What is the relationship of myOER to the blueprint? • How will I recognize strong resources?
myOER • Searches:
Portal Play Feedback • Thumbs up/thumbs down Comments • Bottom of a resource 2. Bottom of lesson
Portal Play My Resource Locker • Saving resources for personal use 1. Bottom of lesson 2. Bottom of resource • Locate resources you might find useful based on the lessons you will be teaching in the upcoming weeks
Portal Play – Sharing • Think, Pair, Share: Find a person or group of your grade level/content area and share a lesson you added to your locker that also may be beneficial to them. • Two ways to share: 1. Email, etc. 2. Advanced Search – type in the title of your partner’s lesson – click on “Search” – you don’t need to add any other information

The Future! • "The essential question is not whether the common core can improve mathematics learning in the United States, but whether we, as a nation, have the commitment to ensure that it does.“ William Schmidt ,Michigan State University distinguished professor and co-director of the university's Education Policy Center, Education Week, March 22, 2013
The Future! • The common core offers the opportunity to revolutionize math instruction in this country, to improve student performance, to close the gap between the United States and its competitors, and to ensure that every American student has an equal opportunity to learn important mathematics content. But it is only a chance, and it is imperative that we seize it. William Schmidt ,Michigan State University distinguished professor and co-director of the university's Education Policy Center, Education Week, March 22, 2013
