Objectives • Developa deep understanding of the CCSS Math standards & the new Smarter Balanced assessments. • Understandthe 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, findand 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

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 3x5 card, individually brainstorm Productive and UnproductiveBeliefs teachers have about mathematics. Mathematics Practice Beliefs

11th 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 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.
Lunch/ Team Time Please return at 12:55
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 brown bread roll. • She wants to make as much profit as she can. • She doesn’twant 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. • Listen carefully to each other and ask questions if you don’t understand. • Once you understand each other’s work, agree together in your group on the best approach for completing the problem. • Outline on your large sheet of paper the approach you are going to use.
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.
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 your group.
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
Reviewing the Stages of the Generate an Argument Instructional Model
Structuring Learning Leadership of Selfand Others • How does this instructional model help students develop skills to meet the intent of Mathematical Practice 3 and 6?
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, high-quality professional development in math, science, and ELA. We deeply appreciate your cooperation. Thank you.
