Tweet Share
Download Session Handout
Through coordinated efforts of a regional ESA and 16 elementary schools, teams of teachers and educational professionals transformed mathematics instruction. Key to the transformation was job-embedded professional development designed to enhance the mathematical content of participants and challenge them to strengthen instruction. The PD received included math academies that stretched mathematical content knowledge and provided time to connect and apply new knowledge for student learning. Presenters will share how PLC structures were developed to guide participants in collecting, interpreting and monitoring student progress through the use of data. Data provided information for students to receive individualized instruction with embedded supports. Through the collaboration of GRREC, Western Kentucky University, Whizz Education, Inc., and Carnegie Learning, student achievement in mathematics increased. The data and implementation from two Title I schools will be highlighted.
