1. Implementation Strategy: K-8, Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry
Focus on implementing one Mathematical Practice within specific mathematical content standards each month according to the following matrix.
This is the matrix that will drive our Professional Learning plan. This is a two-fold approach where we are focusing each grade level on a particular Math Practice and a Content Domain.
*The picture is a link to the document. The document has links to two other documents*
One link is to a document called the Standards Focus, this document specifies which Content Standard((s) with the Domain will be emphasized for the month, this document will also have resources for teaching and assessing the content standard(s).
The other link is to a document called the Content Focus, this document contains…
… links to changes expected in instructional strategies
Exemplar lessons
Video examples (emulating classroom modeling)
Aligned with Marzano Teaching Frameworks
Aligned to relevant professional learning opportunities
Prompts for indications of progress through observations
Both of these documents are living documents that will be updated with new resources/videos, etc…

4. Current Status – Literacy and Math
What progress has been made since January 2012?
Kindergarten teachers have attended professional learning
Grades K, 1 and 2 teachers are in the process of attending professional learning
Assistant Principals attended CCSS overview training (January 2012)
Leadership Week (June 2012) in conjunction with Talent Development
Formed a Cadre of Experts in Literacy and Mathematics (K-12) who will assist with the implementation and build capacity for change

5. Cadre of Experts Build Capacity among teacher-leaders Model Classrooms
Support for school-based PLCs
Capture best practices via video for sharing
Facilitate district virtual PLCs through
Discuss Cadre of Experts-
We will be drawing upon our cadre of experts initiated last Spring to help us help build capacity. We will capitalize on virtual applications to reach our stakeholders.
