Many MPS Math Courses Lack Rigor
Too few MPS students are college- ready
How do we accelerate progress for all students?
Focus on what happens inside of classroomsFocus on standards/learning intentionsClear framework/vision of effective instructionExplicit, aligned support and materialsImproved access to rigorous coursework
Leverage expertise and capacity of Milwaukee Math Partnership and Math Teacher Leaders

• Showing professionalism
• Impassioned, Engaged Adult Learners
• Partnerships w/ Families & Community
• Collaboration w/ Colleagues
What have we learned from these?Teaching is complex; can’t be reduced to a checklist of behaviors or strategies for every classroom, content area, grade, learning objective, student Effective teachers have rich repertoires of professional practice and are skilled at “making the match”
Effective teachers have more than one way to handle a given teaching situation
Matching depends on the situation, group, goal, and individual student
Skillful teachers are made, not born A variety of district and school conditions and supports affect teacher development -- principals and other school leaders have both great potential and responsibility to help them develop
It can be easy to recognize:•Well-organized teachers•Effective classroom managers •Engaging teachers•Teachers who know their content•Teachers who keep good records•Teachers who use “research-based
strategies”
But skillful/effective teachers –those that “make the match” often take more time to recognize, support, and develop
What will you do this year to support skillful teaching?
