Tasks, lessons, assessments, homework, interventions, and grading all have the power to improve—or diminish—student learning in mathematics. By working collaboratively within the PLC at Work® process, teacher teams can ensure these elements promote equitable teaching and learning experiences to support students in achieving proficiency. You will learn how to function in collaborative teams to:
Reflect upon current content, routines, and practices and evaluate their quality against research-affirmed criteria
Refine and update content, routines, and practices for improved student learning on a unit-by-unit basis
Act to ensure improvements to content, routines, and practices are designed to engage students, empower them to persevere, and motivate them to own their learning
Learning Outcomes
Examine six team actions and two coaching actions collaborative teams use to ensure every student learns mathematics.
Explore tools, protocols, and tasks to ensure intentional lesson design impacts student learning at all levels.
Learn how to design and deliver research‐affirmed mathematics lessons using formative assessments and feedback.
Know how to design common assessments and provide targeted interventions.
Address homework as an integral part of student motivation and engagement.
