2. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES
ASSUMPTIONS/RATIONALE: The Federal MSP program supports improved student achievement in mathematics and science through enhanced training for math / science teachers, with major involvement of STEM faculty in the improvement effort. The Michigan MSP program has identified a need for teacher leaders to provide sustainable site-based professional development.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES
LONG-TERM GOALS
RESOURCES
- SVSU-GVSU Teacher Leader Projects
- UM Instructional Resources
- Statewide STEM Faculty Expertise
- M/S Centers Infrastructure
- MSP Grant
Professional development for math / science center staff on recruiting, supporting, training, and sustaining TSLs
Teacher Leaders . . .
- Increased math / science content / pedagogical skills / knowledge
- Improved PD facilitation skills
- Increased knowledge of connections between curriculum, instruction, assessment, and data use
- Work jointly with administrator to improve math / science
- Recognized as leaders in math / science
- Provide instructional leadership through PD
Math/Science Centers…
- Recruited as planned
- Statewide network of TSLs operating as intended
1. Cadre of TSLs w/skills / knowledge to help improve teaching / learning of math / science in targeted high needs schools
Individualized, data-driven needs assessments for participating high-needs buildings, districts, and TSLs.
M/S Center staff / teams
-Have knowledge / skills to recruit, develop, support, and sustain TSLs and administrators
- Increased / enhanced MSC partnerships with IHE, LEAs, business, non-profits, etc.
2. Working relationships between TSLs and building administrators, w/support of M/S Centers & STEM Faculty
Development of learning communities at statewide (TSLs), regional (MSCs), and local (building / district) levels.
NEEDS
- Capacity in M/S Centers to support teacher leaders and high needs schools inadequate
- Current PD is inadequate to significantly impact teaching & learning
- School-based capacity to serve high needs schools inadequate
Development of instructional resources based on content and effective pedagogy.
Students . . .
-Increased opportunities to learn
-Improved learning and deepened understanding of math / science
-Improved attitudes towards, interest in mathematics / science
Immersion in leadership, inquiry, and professional community during summer academy and school year programming.
3. Improve math / science learning of students in targeted high needs schools
Administrators . . .
- Improved ability to recognize / support high quality math/science education
- Develop working relationship with TL to improve math / science
On-going training in leadership and inquiry teaching / learning through released time (sabbatical) options for PD implementation.
STEM Faculty
- Seek to increase their knowledge and insights in content, pedagogy, and LEA needs by collaborating with middle grades’ colleagues.
- Sharing content / pedagogical knowledge with TSLs, LEAs, and M/S Centers
- IHE STEM adapting instructional practices in their own classrooms
4. M/S Centers with increased capacity to sustain support for high needs schools
Intentional inclusion of STEM faculty at all levels of TSL professional development.
Extended Teams . . .
- Increased content / pedagogical knowledge / skills; facilitation skills in selected topics / practices
- Increased understanding of personal instructional practices
Online PD, coaching, networking, conferencing, and resource dissemination.
Technical assistance (consulting, advising, tutoring, etc.) by Collaborative Team to sites.
