Implementation Timeline

  • September 2017: Adoption of NYS Next Generation Learning Standards.
  • Phase I: Raise Awareness (Winter 2018-Winter/Spring 2019): Professional development on NYS Next Generation Learning Standards; two-day assessments measuring the 2011 P-12 Learning Standards.
  • Phase II: Build Capacity (Spring 2019-Summer 2020): Professional development continuing on NYS Next Generation Learning Standards; two-day assessments measuring the 2011 P-12 Learning Standards.
  • Phase III Full Implementation (September 2020 – ongoing): Full implementation of the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards.
  • Spring 2021: New grade 3-8 tests measuring the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards. The timeline regarding the full-implementation/assessment alignment at the high-school level has not yet been determined and will be forthcoming; however, full-implementation/assessment alignment will not be before the school year 2020-2021.

Phase I: Raise Awareness

Goal 1: Clearly communicate the adoption and the implementation timeline of the Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards.

  • Initial Presentation of Implementation Timeline (Math Leadership, October 2017)

​

  • Major focus on increasing awareness of how the Next Generation Learning Standards can increase regional access and equity in mathematics (2017-2018 Math Leadership Focus)

Phase I: Raise Awareness

Goal 2: Understand and clearly communicate the changes between the 2011 P-12 Learning Standards and the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards.

  • Work with Standards for Mathematical Practice (Math Leadership, October 2018)
  • Began between- and within-district conversations around NYS Crosswalks and Snapshots that outline standards changes (Math Leadership, April 2018)
  • Post Assessment Recommendations are Public and open for comment
  • Math Curriculum Review Guidance Document is forthcoming from NYSED
  • Unpacking the Standards Documents are forthcoming from NYSED

Where are we?

As a state, region, and school district we have done varying activities to build awareness of the Next Generation Math Learning Standards.

​

To get a regional pulse and to have time to reflect on the Next Generation Mathematics Standards implementation within your school district, please use the form found here:

Key Implementation Activities

​

NYSED

S/CDN & BOCES

Local

School

Districts

Conduct presentations on the implementation timeline at district administrative meetings and/or regional/local level meetings. Share information with administrators and

teachers.

​

​

​

Utilize electronic communication and social media to inform stakeholders of the timeline for implementation.

Awareness to Capacity

Crosswalk Note Catcher

At our next Math Leadership Session we will take a deep look at the NYS Math Standards Crosswalk Documents and start to plan curricular and instructional changes for the upcoming school years.

Next Generation Standards Unpacking Documents

By our next meeting NYSED will have released documents that will help teachers unpack the new standards.

3-8 Pre/Post Assessment Topics

In the meantime, the Grades 3-8 Pre/Post Assessment Topics have been released in draft form and are open for public comment until 1/31. Please read them and provide feedback.

How would you respond?

“Schools these days don’t teach kids how to think!”

Mathematics Practice Standards

  • How would you describe the math practice standards?
  • How are they different from the math content standards?
  • Why are these practices worth pursuing in math instruction?

17

Quick Images

We want to orient today’s discussion of the practice standards around two concrete take-aways:

  1. Quick Images: a routine for engaging students in math content and practices
  2. The 5x8 card: a tool for guiding observations and conversations with teachers

Quick Images: What practices does this routine support?

Find a copy of the math practice standards.

​

Which practices does the Quick Images routine bring into focus?

The 5x8 card

Look over the card. What do you notice? What do you wonder?

Eggs and cups and the 5x8 card

Think back over both Quick Images routines (the eggs and the cups).

​

What Vital Student Actions would someone have been able to observe?

​

How do those relate to the practices we discussed before?

24

kdavis@ocmboces.org

Let’s try it!

As you watch, look for the vital student actions described on the 5x8 card.

What did we see?

Discuss with your table mates: which vital student actions did you see or hear?

Observing Instruction: Why?

What purposes do instructional leaders have for observing classroom instruction?�

  • Formal Evaluations
  • Accountability (improvement plans)
  • Identifying group-level trends: what do we need to work on across the grade-level? Across the building?
  • Supporting teacher learning one-on-one

​

For which of these purposes might the 5x8 card be useful?

27

kdavis@ocmboces.org

Observation and feedback with the 5x8 card: How?

Remember:

Support - not evaluation

Vulnerability comes with partnership, not judgment

Teaching is complex, and meaningful improvement is gradual

Rehearsals!

In pairs…

​

Rehearse a post-lesson discussion about student vital actions and the math practice standards with “Ms. Fox.”

​

Stay in the rehearsal until it’s over!

Give your partner feedback, then swap roles.

What’s next for you?

Discuss in district groups: How can you use the math practice standards to frame discussions about instruction with your teachers?

​

How might the 5x8 card be useful to instructional leaders in your district?
