Community School Liaison
What is a Community School?
“A public school that establishes a set of strategic partnerships between the school and other community resources that promote student achievement, positive learning conditions, and the well-being of students by providing wraparound services.”
MCPS has fifty-three schools that have been identified as community schools as determined by MSDE (Maryland State Department of Education). These schools receive additional funding and services in order to increase the academic success and well-being of families.

3 Components of Curriculum Study
Study the Standards | Effective math teaching requires teachers to know the math and know their students. In schools, teachers and teams must study the standards in order to more deeply understand the math that is expected in each major unit of study and each daily lesson. |
Do the Math | When adults deeply understand the standards they are expected to teach and the degree to which students are expected to know, they know the math. Doing the math is an important step in preparing to teach, as it allows for teachers to see how the standards are taught in the curriculum and to determine potential misconceptions that can inform instructional practices. |
Plan for Engagement/ Provision for Scaffolds | Equitable teaching and learning is instruction that is effectively differentiated to meet student needs while holding all students to the same high standard. All students actively engage with mathematics instruction daily through discourse and productive struggle. |
