Math Common Core Feedback & Implications

May 5 / CRW / ER PD / PLC Work
K / Curriculum guides, revisit vocabulary, assessments-both baselines and PAs, progress report changes / Common time for all kindergarten teachers in district to get together / Training/Time to play with new assessments…make sure we are all doing it the same.
1 / * Revising PAs (to include one-on-one and small group questions) /
  • Built in time for grade level vertical alignment planning
/
  • collaborative planning
  • creation of CFAs

2 / There are so many things that could be and need to be done during CRW, they will need to be prioritized
Include an academic vocabulary update
Work on Curriculum Guides
Identify the gaps in Envision Math per grade level / IFs need job alike time for their own training and collaboration to be able plan PD
More “modeling activities” like the perimeter activity developed
Time built into each ERD for grade level work on formative assessments
Time built into each ERD for vertical discussions / Gather feedback from grade levels on their specific barriers; plan PLC topics accordingly
Compile list of informational text resources to share
Share best practices for problem solving activities and giving feedback to students
3 / Make the Math curriculum guide match Envision math and then change the math PA to match the curriculum guide / Have vertical alignment discussion time worked into Early Release days
4 / Changes for K-2 in math and ELA to CG’s and PA’s and 3-5 ELA, have 3-5 have a preview for math and what we can do to make the transition easier / Vertical alignment planning time / “relearn” one standard per week
5 / Focus on a new Curriculum guide and style. / Focus and develop grade level lessons for the new Standards and incorporate real world examples / Sharing of the best practices and understanding of the correlation between the standards and the practices
6 / Middle and High will need to vertically align.
Language and terminology changes; transitions from our essentials wording and common core.
Looking at current gaps. / Vertical alignment

Algebra I / Decision on traditional or international pathway and effects on middle school.
-Be aware of the vertical alignment and language differences.
-Creating a document that identifies the gaps that will be faced by the transition for the 2012-13 school year and beyond as needed.
-Continue to have input in ERPD and PLCs
-Communication with teachers not there / -Use the time for district collaboration and creating resources, lesson & unit plans.
-More training on discovery learning. / Time to converse about changes and strategies.
-Develop common approaches.
