Purpose

Who?

7:45-8:25

Review our Team’s “Why”

  • Why do we need a math team?
  • How can we serve our colleagues, students, and our community?
  • What do we need to realize our “Why”?

Team

Progress Monitoring (Shared Folder)

  • EMAT
  • Progress Checks

Team

Math Content Emphases Tool

  • Deepening Understanding of Standards (indicators)
  • Resources for each standard
  • How to use this in planning...

Team

Agree on our next steps…

  • What does our role look like as it relates to “team” professional learning this year?

Team

What you should expect from today’s experience...

Our WHY is to elevate students’ beliefs and expectations in math…

This content aligns with “major cluster” instruction within each grade level.

Now we can narrow our instructional focus...

Math Content Emphases Hub

This is our in-house document where we can provide the following for our staff:

  • Learning within “major cluster” standards
  • Research-based continuum to support back-mapping and enrichment needs
  • Instructional resources (print, online, questioning/scenarios, etc…) tied to specific standards

Together We Will...

​

  • Carry content knowledge back to their teams when the time is right
    • Provide a marking period overview of the domain emphasis during collaborative planning
    • Share your knowledge of the EMAT tasks during collaborative planning
  • Help the collaborative team analyze performance data (EMAT, MAP, and Progress Checks)
    • Identify successes
    • Share the instructional nuances that helped cultivate these successes
