Professional Development Opportunities for the New Math Standards
Session Action Plan
Survey session participants’ beliefs and needs regarding professional development
Provide overview of the Statewide Professional Development for Effective Mathematics Instruction plan
Conduct sample professional development activity from Center on Instruction
Collect session participants’ input
Professional Development Survey
What are your thoughts?
Please respond to questions 1-3 and discuss with othersat your table.
Professional Development Survey
General Questions1. What are three elements of effective professional
development? 2. If you were attending a PD session for effective math
instruction, what components would you want it to include?
3. What are the barriers to transferring what is learned in professional development sessions back to the classroom?
Professional Development Survey
Math-specific Questions4. At your particular grade level, what mathematics
concepts do your students struggle with most?5. If you participated in a PD session focused on working
with the new math standards, what type of follow up would you need?
Statewide Professional Development Plan
Broad considerations New standards in Mathematics and Science Model for future professional development around new
content standards in other areas Part of overall Diploma requirements implementation Bottom line-increased student achievement
Goals for Professional Development
What are the goals and objectives for this professional
development?
Goals for Professional Development
A statewide professional development plan must: Help teachers at every level understand their role in
helping students meet the new diploma requirements Provide support and training for educators in using new
math standards, other content areas Build in sustainability and transferability
Objectives for Professional Development
These professional development sessions must: Be based on latest research on effective instruction and
assessment Emphasize instruction of essential skills and STEM connection Provide clear explanation of transitions between grade levels in
new math standards Make direct connections between professional development
session content and classroom experiences
Objectives for Professional Development (continued)
Include comprehensive approach to assessment: formative assessments, work samples, and OAKS
Include variety of learning opportunities around sample lessons and effective instructional strategies
Include specific strategies for preparing students for Algebra I level and above course work
Include strategies for continued professional development through local professional learning communities
Strategic Partners
Who are the strategic partners? Northwest Regional Education Laboratory Other ODE offices ESDs Higher Education (including colleges of education) Professional organizations Curriculum directors Teachers Business community Others
Strategic Partners
An advisory group will need to: review input gathered to date (including survey from this
session) finalize implementation plan review & identify need for additional materials identify milestones and set timelines finalize roll-out strategy formulate follow up and evaluation plan
Implementation Considerations
Use of “train the trainer” model Appropriate segmenting of sessions (e.g., grades K-2,
3-5, 6-8, etc.) Communicating professional development plans and
session dates Mapping out effective follow-up to sessions through
webinars, videoconferencing, etc.
Short-term Plan for New Math Standards
What about the new K-8 math standards adopted in December
2007?
Short-Term Plans: Information sessions focused on new K-8 math standards
Sessions will address: crosswalk document linking 2002 math standards to 2007
standards implications for instruction and assessmentsSessions will be offered: face-to-face and through webinars and videoconferencing October 2008-January 2009
Statewide Professional Development Plan
What might one of the Effective Mathematics Instruction
professional development sessions look like?
