  1. Professional Learning for Mathematics Leaders and Coaches not just a 3-part series

  2. Overarching Goals • Improve student achievement • Close gaps • Increase public confidence

  3. Immediate goals • Model and practise lesson co-planning in a safe environment (teacher-teacher and teacher-coach) as it connects to “A Mathematics Coaching Cycle” • Increase capacity in differentiating instruction by posing open and parallel questions (tasks) addressing Big Ideas • Ground 2009-10 approaches in evidence of the power of a “Coaching and Posing Powerful Questions” focus • Provide ideas for scaling up and targeting within boards

  4. Sharpening the Instructional Focus 37 indicators in the Guide for Administrators and Other Facilitators of Teachers’ Learning for Mathematics Education 8 criteria in the Student Success Action Planning template 3 strategic approaches 1 key focus

  5. Sharpening the Instructional Focus Three strategic approaches: • Fearless listening and speaking • Questioning to evoke and expose thinking • Responding to provide appropriate scaffolding and challenge Driver for 2008-09 Driver for 2009-10: Open and parallel questions tied to lesson goals and underlying Big Ideas

  7. Big Picture

  8. Big ideas • Patterns and Algebra focus at Math CAMPPP, Summer Institutes, and Professional Learning for Mathematics Leaders and Coaches (PLMLC) - Not Just a 3-part Series • Based on observed needs during 2008-09 • Grade 1-12 support materials available

  9. Grounded in Student Data Grade 9 results are improving at an accelerated rate 

  10. Educator Survey Data • Survey Monkey results of 2008-09 Coaching for Math GAINS 97% of those who experienced large group sessions with one-on-one activities between sessions said they would participate again.

  11. Halton DSB • Double-digit EQAO gains in targeted schools • Student gains transferred across content areas • PD that “took” • Watch for a Digital Research Paper late Fall Provincial Average

  12. Simcoe County DSB Approach • 4-10 Mathematics Coaches • System-wide alignment • Large group sessions on questioning with one-on-one coaching in targeted schools • Watch for coaching video records – co-planning. co-teaching, co-debriefing Provincial Average

  14. Upper Grand DSB • Large group focus on questioning with co-planning effective IWB lessons between • Watch for TIPS IWB lessons this Fall Provincial Average

  15. Digital Research Papers • A web-based, interactive “paper” that illustrates educational research • Each digital paper illustrates one key concept, strategy, or research project • Designed by Dr. Catherine D. Bruce, Trent University and available at www.tmerc.ca
