Tuesday, October 23,2018: Mathematics Assessment & Intervention Design Criteria and Routines
Participants will use the eight criteria for highly effective mathematics assessment design to reflect, refine and acton the alignment of all current unit assessments, the scoring of those assessments and the creation of an efficient and sustainable intervention process for formative student action on teacher feedback.
Wednesday, February 6, 2019: Mathematics Instruction & Tasks
Participants will use the six lesson design criteria to reflect, refine and act on levels of student perseverance and engagement during the lesson, the nature of the cognitive demand tasks for those lessons, and a sustainable formative feedback process, with student action during the lesson.
Thursday, February 7, 2019: Mathematics Homework & Grading
Participants will use the eight criteria for highly effective homework and grading design to reflect, refine and act on all current homework assignments, the scoring of those assignments, and the creation of efficient and effective grading routines designed to inspire student perseverance, effort and engagement in learning.
Effective Mathematics Teaching and Learning is built upon a foundation of:
1. Every Student Can Learn Mathematics.
2. There exists a Reflect, Refine, and Act cycle of learning for students and teachers.
3. No one teacher has the knowledge that can be gained from all teachers collaborating around the right work.
To that end, Dr. Kanold helps mathematics teachers, teacher teams and teacher leaders to reach the Every Student Can learn Mathematics success criteria by helping them pursue actions in three critical areas of their professional work life:
Session 1. Mathematics Assessment Design and Intervention Routines (October 23rd, 2018)
Session 2. Mathematics Instruction Design and Lesson Routines (February 6th, 2019)
Session 3. Mathematics Homework Design and Grading Routines (February 7th, 2020)
Furthermore he helps mathematics coaches and leaders learn how to maximize these three critical areas by leading effective:
4. Mathematics Coaching and Collaboration Design and Routines (part of all three workshop days)
Since Mathematics at Work is built on the fundamental belief that every K-12 student can learn mathematics. Participants in this special mathematics professional development designed for Minnesota teachers and leaders will:
- Gain deeper insight into the essential mathematics team agreements as part of the Professional Learning Community at Work™ process.
- Reflect on current practice using team discussion protocols, author stories, teacher reflection activities and team recommendations for their daily work.
- Examine research and professional best practice design criteria for unit assessments, daily instruction, daily homework, grading and school wide mathematics intervention.
- Examine research and professional best practice design routines for unit assessments, daily instruction, daily homework, unit grading and subsequent school wide mathematics intervention.
