State of the StateOregon Math Leader Conference 2014 Mark Freed Mathematics Education SpecialistOregon Department of Education
Strategic Initiatives Update • Connecting the World to Work • Regional STEM Hub Grantees • Six regional hubs awarded grants • STEM, STEAM and/or CTE Program and Activity Grant • 87 proposals, 16 awardees • Network of Quality of Teaching and Learning • Series of 3 regional PLT conferences in fall, winter, and spring during 2013-14 school year • District grants to support Educator Effectiveness and Common Core implementation
Looking forward to 2014-15 PLT CONFERENCES • Professional Learning Team Conferences • First day general sessions, keynote speakers • Second day, series of six break out sessions (Math, ELA, Science, ELP/ELL, Ed. Effectiveness [SLG, IRR]) • Goal to establish a learning community of 200-300 math leaders representing every school district • Support conversations and activities throughout the year (Oregon Portal if possible) • Train an expert group of 20-30 educators to provide expertise in finding, evaluating, and sharing instructional materials
Looking forward to 2014-15 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS • Facilitated Independent Reviews • Piloted regional reviews in SOESD and Hillsboro SD • One day PD training on how to use Oregon Instructional Material Review Toolkit (OR-IMET) followed by three days of review (~2 programs per day) • Fall 2014 – intend to share OR-IMET, PD modules, and results from regional reviews • Revise IM statues (ORS 337) and rules (OAR 581-11) • Participate in a possible multi-state collaborative to develop open education (OER) courses in CCSS Math and ELA
Looking forward to 2014-15TITLE IIB (Math & Science Partnerships) • Continued support of four STEM Partnerships • Enter third year of three year grant • Transition to be supported by regional STEM hubs • Release RFP for 2014-17 • Anticipated release first week of August • Submit proposals Oct. 1 for funding in November 2014 • WebEx Mid-August to go over expectations
Areas of Focus for 2014-15 • TARGET 1: Supporting quality instructional materials • Help find, share, evaluate, modify and create quality materials • TARGET 2: Supporting quality instruction and learning • Implementation of Instructional best practices found in NCTM: Principles to Action • TARGET 3: Support quality assessments & feedback • Help transition to Smarter Balanced, and best practices using both summative and formative data
Aligning to Focus AreasTITLE IIB (Math & Science Partnerships) • OPTION 1 • Development of professional development opportunities to find, evaluate, share and modify quality instructional materials in math and/or science (Target 1 & 3) • All materials will be shared state-wide under open license (e.g. creative commons) • OPTION 2 • Development of professional development opportunities to help develop more instructional leaders in math and/or science (Target 2)
Aligning to Focus Areas INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS • Share resources and tools to support independent review of materials (Target 1) • Start with materials to evaluate basal programs • Optional ODE support of independent reviews in 2014-15 • PD Supporting understanding of alignment to CCSS Math (Target 1, 2, & 3) • (1) Focus, (2) Coherence, (3) Rigor [application, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency], (4) Math Practices • Develop PD to support the evaluation of supplemental resources (e.g. tasks, lessons, units) • Share and disseminate results of independent reviews (Target 1) • Participate in development of multi-state OER resources (Target 1)

Aligning to Focus Areas PLT CONFERENCES • Establish learning arc through three sessions • FALL: [Portland: 9/25-26; Eugene 10/7-8; LaGrande 10/14-15] • What makes a quality instructional material? • Where can I find it? (Primary Target 1: Quality Materials) • Winter: [Portland: 2/10-11; Eugene 2/19-20; LaGrande3/3-4] • How do I implement with fidelity? (Target 2: Quality instruction; NCTM: Principles to Action) • Spring: [TBD: June 2015] • How do I know students learned it? • How could I make it better? (Target 3: Quality assessment & Feedback)
Aligning to Focus Areas PLT CONFERENCES • How can I help? • General support planning PLT activities (20-30 leaders) • FALL: • Investigate possibility to contract PD (tentative: Illustrative Math/UofAriz.) • Table facilitators at each site (~5-10 each location) • Winter: • Teachers and coaches to provide instruction PD (NCTM: PtA) • Table facilitators at each site (~5-10 each location) • Spring: • Teachers and coaches to support PD on evaluating student work • Table facilitators at each site (~5-10 each location)
