  2. Introductions Across the Miles Green Local Tate Skinner Jess McIlhenny Leigh Ann Henry Donna Malone Gary Johnson 2 Student Teachers Jodi Dunham, math coach Jenny McKinney, SSU Trimble Local Chris Downs Annelie Vernon Phil Faires Bev Risk Rich Doley Terry Hooper Sarah Luthy, math coach Greg Foley, OU Athens Al Cote, OU Athens

  3. Math Curriculum Makeover Dan Meyer's TED talk and video http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover.html

  4. Session Overview • Pre-Assessment • Survey & Discussion • Task – Tailoring STEM /CCSS-M Instruction for Diverse Learners: What Matters Most? • Activity & Discussion • Analyzing Mathematical Instruction • What’s done in the name of Differentiation? • Implementation Action Plan

  5. What do you Believe? For each of the statements choose the response which best reflects your belief about student learning, knowledge of the Mathematics Common Core State Standards, and instructional practices. A ‘student-response’ system is being used in order to promote anonymity.

  6. For each of the items on this page, choose the appropriate response A, B, C, D, or E as shown in the grid below by using the student-response system.

  7. Pre-Assessment

  8. I have sufficient knowledge of the new Common Core content standards for mathematics. • I have sufficient knowledge of the new Common Core standards for mathematical practice. • I have a good understanding of using differentiation strategies for teaching mathematics. • I design mathematical tasks in a way that makes it easy for me to differentiate instruction. • All students have the ability to learn mathematics. • All students can learn mathematics but not at the same pace. • All students can learn mathematics but not to the same level of achievement. • Some students will never excel academically due to lack of parental support. • Math comes naturally to some people; all others must struggle to learn mathematics. • I am familiar with how to use formative assessment to teach mathematics. • It is more important to give written comments as feedback than to assign grades. • I adapt my teaching based upon what students currently understand or do not understand. • I assess student learning in multiple ways and adapt my teaching accordingly. • I use a wide range of teaching approaches (e.g., collaborative learning, direct instruction, inquiry, project-based learning).

  9. The Vending Machine

  10. Analyzing Math Instruction • Greg ….

  11. What’s done in the name of Differentiation? • What do you do to differentiate for students? • What has worked? • What Challenges have you experienced? • What has not worked as well as you hoped?

  12. What’s done in the name of Differentiation? • What do you do to differentiate for students? • What has worked? • What Challenges have you experienced? • What has not worked as well as you hoped? What do you think you need to learn to improve your differentiation practices? Quick Share by School Teams: Be prepare to share common responses, themes, or feelings.

  13. Where do we go from here? Develop individual & Team Action Plan
