  1. Day 1 of 6 Spring 2008 North Carolina Mathematics Curriculum Standards LEA Leadership Team Professional Development

  2. Purposes of the Partners Grant To support teaching and learning mathematics in grades K-8 To emphasize “big ideas” that ALL students need to learn in grades K-8

  3. Work of the Partners Grant Create materials that provide guidance for the quality mathematics instruction that is critical for our students Prepare LEA Leadership Teams to deliver the PD

  4. Two Critical Events • First, the State Board of Education has adopted new Mathematics Curriculum Standards for K-5 • Second, new mathematics textbooks will be offered in 2008-2009 for adoption for grades K-5

  7. K-8 Mathematics Curriculum Standards Every student in North Carolina deserves to be taught mathematics by a well-qualified teacher using high-quality materials and instructional strategies that support student learning

  8. Purposes of LEA Workshops Inform district’s K-5 teachers about NC’s Revised Mathematics Curriculum Standards and current 6-8 standards Increase the potential for greater student achievement through high quality experiences for teachers

  9. Purposes of LEA Workshops Increase teacher mathematics content knowledge Relate this knowledge to expectations in NC’s K-8 Mathematics Curriculum Standards

  10. Purposes of LEAWorkshops Set stage for textbook adoption in spring 2009 & implementation of new Standards in 2009-2010 Focus on “big ideas” that require in-depth development across grades

  11. “Less is More” Approach • Identify “big ideas” and how they develop across grades • Not a comparison of new K-5 standards with current ones - rather identification of important ideas for K-8 • Set the stage for future professional development in summer 2009 that focuses on activities to teach specific content

  12. Engage Teachers • Model questioning and discussions • Think, pair, share by tables • Discuss, explain, explore, extend • Emphasize understanding students’ thinking (formative assessment) • Assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning • Done so frequently that early intervention becomes routine • Not an add-on; a restructuring of time

  13. Timeline for Partners Project Spring and summer 2008 six days of PD for LEA Leadership Teams LEA Leadership Teams share PD during 2008-2009 school year Online modules fall 2008-2009 Summer ‘09 grade-level specific PD
