1. MATHEMATICS & THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS Today’s Agenda: 1. Propose three possible solutions to address the non-alignment of our K – 5 math instructional materials. 2. Share results of an instructional materials review. 3. Engage in a process to possibly reach consensus around a viable solution. 4. Gather feedback on potential next steps.

2. PURPOSE Share and discuss concerns arising due to the lack of alignment of Everyday Mathematics to CCSS-M.  Teachers are supplementing with a variety of supplemental materials.  It is easier to supplement procedural fluency than conceptual understanding.  Curriculum coherence is impossible due to teacher variations in supplementing, so students aren’t getting a guaranteed and viable curriculum in all schools.  Various stakeholders have shared their concerns about the alignment and suggested a supplemental curriculum that they feel is working to better teach the intent of the common core--focus, coherence, and rigor.

3. PURPOSE Share and discuss a way to restore curriculum coherence during this interim time period until a math adoption can take place.  Based on the concerns shared by our stakeholders, T & L conducted research and curricular reviews on current and suggested materials.  Today you will have the opportunity to come to consensus around one of three proposed solutions.

4. Communication Interim – Materials that replace the “core” materials for a specific amount of time. In our case, two years. Supplemental – Materials that are inserted into the existing “core” materials to meet the needs of students. UPCOMING ADOPTION PLANS

10. INTERIM CURRICULUM REVIEW PROCESS  Step 1: Overview of Focus on Major Work  Instructional Materials Evaluation Tool for CCSS Alignment in Mathematics (IMET) Grades K-8 from Student Achievement Partners  Section I: Non-Negotiable Alignment Criteria  Step 2: Overview of One Unit  EQuIP Rubric for Lessons and Units: Mathematics (derived from the Tri-State Rubric)  Section I: Alignment to Depth of CCSS Non-Negotiable  Sections II – IV: Other aspects of alignment

11. STEP 1: FOCUS ON MAJOR WORK  Recommendation: The materials should devote at least 65% and up to approximately 85% of class time to the major work of the grade with Grades K-2 nearer the upper end of that range, i.e., 85%. Recommendation: The materials should devote at least 65% and up to approximately 85% of class time to the major work of the grade with Grades K-2 nearer the upper end of that range, i.e., 85%. Both EDM 2015 and Engage NY met the criteria for Step 1, so both continued to Step 2.

12. STEP 1: FOCUS ON MAJOR WORK  Recommendation: The materials should devote at least 65% and up to approximately 85% of class time to the major work of the grade with Grades K-2 nearer the upper end of that range, i.e., 85%. EDM 2012 Grades 3-5 was not reviewed in Step 2 because it did not meet the criteria for Step 1.

22. QUESTIONS?

23. COMING TO CONSENSUS  Consensus decision making is a way of reaching agreement between all members of a group. Instead of simply voting for an item with majority rule, a group using consensus is committed to finding solutions that everyone actively supports, or at least can live with. Time to work towards consensus!

24. At your table, discuss and chart the pros and cons of each of the options we have shared with you today. After you have come to consensus, mark your choice and enter reasons and evidence in the box. Be ready to share!

25. Consensus GOAL Finding a solution that everyone actively supports, or at least can live with, for the next two years. Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 Table 4

26. POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS Principal Support:  Support the decision with staff.  Share communication about the decision with staff.  Devote LIT to intentional learning and planning upcoming units.  Use Late Arrival for PD if staff needs additional time.  Dedicate District Sponsored Collaboration to math.  Open up IC’s schedule to provide time for side by side coaching, planning, and teaching. More support for teachers will be coming soon!
