DAY 1. Outcomes. Why are we here?. Outcomes : Use the EQuIP Rubric (Educators Evaluating Quality Instructional Products) to deepen teacher understanding of College- and Career-Ready Standards (CCRS) and the lesson planning process.
E N D
Outcomes Why are we here? • Outcomes: • Use the EQuIPRubric (Educators Evaluating Quality Instructional Products) to deepen teacher understanding of College- and Career-Ready Standards (CCRS) and the lesson planning process. • Create a pool of exemplar math lessons for each grade that reflect the spirit of the CCRS in rigor, focus, application, instructional support, and assessment. • Build participant capacity to pass along this learning and planning to other teachers. Mathematics
Summary of the EQuIPRubric for Lessons & Units: Mathematics
Tri-State rubric • Purposes: • Provide clear, descriptive criteria for CCRS lessons/ • units • Provide meaningful, constructive feedback to developers • of lessons/units • Identify lessons/units that can serve as models • Guide collegial review and jurying process • The goal of the process is not consensus, but • rather common understanding of the criteria • and their meaning. Mathematics
Dimension I. Alignment to the Rigor of the CCRS • The lesson/unit aligns with the letter and spirit of the CCRS: • Targets a set of grade-level CCRS mathematics standard(s) to the full depth of the standards for teaching and learning. • Standards for Mathematical Practice that are central to the lesson are identified, handled in a grade-appropriate way, and well connected to the content being addressed. • Presents a balance of mathematical procedures and deeper conceptual understanding inherent in the CCRS. Mathematics
Unpacking dimension I Hunt Institute Video • As you watch the video: • Note at least two key points to share with • the group. • Think about how the practices will influence • lesson design and development. Mathematics
REFLECTION How do the look-fors in Dimension I relate to the Standards for Mathematical Practice? Mathematics
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING What do you think is meant by a balance of mathematical procedures and deeper conceptual understanding inherent in the CCRS? Shifts in Math Practice Mathematics
FEEDBACK AND FIXES – DIMENSION I • Feedback: • Record the grade and title of the lesson/unit on the rubric • recording form. • Scan to see what the lesson/unit contains and how it is organized. • Read key materials related to instruction, assessment, and • teacher guidance. • Study and measure the text(s) that serves as the centerpiece for • lesson/unit, analyzing text complexity, quality, scope, and • relationship to instruction. • Identify the grade-level CCRS that the lesson/unit targets. • Individually check each criterion for which clear and substantial • evidence is found. • Fix: • Identify and record input on specific improvements that • might be made to meet criteria or strengthen alignment. Mathematics
DIMENSION II Mathematics
Dimension Ii. Key areas of focus in the ccRs • The lesson/unit reflects evidence of key shifts that are reflected in the CCRS: • Focus:Centers on the concepts, foundational knowledge, and level of rigor that are prioritized in the standards. • Coherence: Makes connections and provides opportunities for students to transfer knowledge and skills within and across domains and learning progressions. • Rigor:Requires students to engage with and demonstrate challenging • mathematics in the following ways: • Conceptual Understanding: Requires students to demonstrate conceptual understanding through complex problem solving, in addition to writing and speaking about their understanding. • Application:Provides opportunities for students to independently apply mathematical concepts in real‐world situations and problem solve with persistence, choosing and applying an appropriate model or strategy to • new situations. • Procedural Skill and Fluency: Expects, supports, and provides guidelines for procedural skill and fluency with core calculations and mathematical procedures (when called for in the standards for the grade) to be performed quickly and accurately . Mathematics
RIGOR Rigor is more than what you teach, it’s how you teach, and how students show you they understand content. Mathematics

EXEMPLAR LESSON • Work the tasks in your sample lesson. • Think about DOK, application, problem • solving, and fluency. • Make sure you address each look-for in • Dimension I. Mathematics
P-Q-P • How was your learning • experience today? • Praise: What is good about the • training? • Question: What do you not understand? • Polish: What specific suggestions for • improvement can you make? Mathematics
FEEDBACK AND FIXES – DIMENSION II • Feedback: • Closely examine the lesson/unit through the “lens” • of each criterion. • Fix: • Record comments on criteria met and improvements • needed. Mathematics
Dimension IiI. INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORTS • The lesson/unit is responsive to varied student learning needs: • Includes clear and sufficient guidance to support teaching and learning of the • targeted standards, including, when appropriate, the use of technology and • media. • Uses and encourages precise and accurate mathematics, academic language, • terminology, and concrete or abstract representations (e.g. pictures, symbols, • expressions, equations, graphics, models) in the discipline. • Engages students in productive struggle through relevant, thought-provoking • questions, problems, and tasks that stimulate interest and elicit mathematical • thinking. • Addresses instructional expectations and is easy to understand and use. • Provides appropriate level and type of scaffolding, differentiation, intervention, • and support for a broad range of learners. • Supports diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, interests, and styles. • Provides extra supports for students working below grade level. • Provides extensions for students with high interest or working about grade • level. Mathematics
Dimension IiI. INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORTS • A unit or longer lesson should: • Recommend and facilitate a mix of instructional approaches for • a variety of learners, such as using multiple representations • (including models), using a range of questions, checking for • understanding, flexible grouping, pair-share, etc. • Gradually remove supports, requiring students to demonstrate • their mathematical understanding independently. • Demonstrate an effective sequence and a progression of learning • where the concepts or skills advance and deepen over time. • Expects, supports, and provides guidelines for procedural skill • and fluency with core calculations and mathematical procedures • (when called for in the standards for the grade) to be performed • quickly and accurately.

FEEDBACK AND FIXES – DIMENSION III • Feedback: • Individually check each criterion for which clear • and substantial evidence is found. • Fixes: • Identify and record input on specific improvements • that might be made to meet criteria or strengthen • alignment. Mathematics
Dimension Iv. assessment • The lesson/unit regularly assesses whether students are mastering • standards based content and skills: • Is designed to elicit direct, observable evidence of the degree to • which a student can independently demonstrate the targeted • CCRS. • Assesses student proficiency using methods that are accessible • and unbiased, including the use of grade level language in student • prompts. • Includes aligned rubrics, answer keys, and scoring guidelines that • provide sufficient guidance for interpreting student performance. • A unit or longer lesson should: • Use varied modes or curriculum embedded assessments that • may include pre-, formative, summative and self-assessment • measures. Mathematics
How do we assess formatively? • Think of two learners, one who is finding the task straightforward and one who is finding it difficult. • Describe these learners’ strengths and difficulties to your shoulder partner in detail. • Explain how you know about these strengths and difficulties. • What evidence do you have? Mathematics
