Roadmap to Recovery
Goal of Year 3
The goal of math4life’s third year is to
CLOSE THE OPPORTUNITY GAPand
CONTROL THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
Funding Scope of math4life Year 3 GrantThis funding is to be used for teacher professional learning in the area of mathematics. The WVDE requires these monies to be utilized for professional learning, math4life development, and instructional opportunities. Some acceptable usage examples include:1) school and county personnel attendance to local and/or nonlocal
professional learning virtual/nonvirtual events, 2) training of your math4life trainers and teachers, 3) facilities locations for math4life professional learning trainings, 4) virtual/nonvirtual guest speakers, and 5) enrichment activities or materials for student mathematics
learning. These funds may be used to pay stipends, travel, registrations, etc. for teachers to attend trainings/meetings.

Best Practices for Summer Learning• Plan early for high-intensity tutoring and
knowledge/vocabulary-building enrichment activities
• Hire the best people and provide them with training
• Align summer learning to standards and curriculum
• Focus on positive climate and offer attendance incentives
• Maximize instructional time
• Create and expand community partnershipshttps://wvde.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/RAND_RR366-1-002.pdfhttps://wvde.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Learning-Loss-Recovery-Best-Practices.pdfhttps://wvde.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Research-Brief-Summer-Learning-Programs.pdf

Addressing the Pandemic Learning Loss Module Objectives
• identify and address the multi-levels of learning loss that have occurred since March 2021 through the study of state and national resources and guidance documents,
• investigate resources in response to the question, ”What resources and/or strategies will help identify and address learning gaps students may experience this school year?”
• investigate resources in response to the question, ”What information is available to guide the path toward learning recovery?”
• utilize vertical teaming, horizontal teaming, standards progressions and prioritized skills and content to set the stage for just-in-time learning.
• learn what it takes to identify learning gaps that have developed as a result of the COVID-19 + Summer 2020 + Fall 2020 slide;
• investigate resources in response to the question, ”How do I determine where students are in relation to learning as a result of the COVID-19 + Summer 2020 slide + Fall 2020 slide?”
• implement the problem solving cycle when identifying and addressing student's academic needs,
• identify assessment tools for gathering data specific to student learning,
• follow recommendations specific to monitoring learning gaps,
• investigate resources in response to the question, How do I determine where students are in relation to learning as a result of the COVID-19 + Summer 2020 slide + Fall 2021 slide, and then, How do I guide them to where they need to be?
• investigate resources in response to the question, What is "just-in-time" learning and how does it work?
• understand the impact scaffolding instruction has upon student learning, and
• design an instructional plan with just-in-time supports.
Addressing the Pandemic Learning Loss ModuleThis self-paced one-credit hour module contains a short pre-session as well as three topics:• Topic One: The Learning Gap-Prioritizing Skills and Learning
Progressions• Topic Two: The Learning Gap-Gathering Data• Topic Three: The Learning Gap-Just In Time Instruction
Course credit will be awarded by Concord University for $33.00.• A minimum 15 clock hours over a period of two or more weeks will be
required to complete this module.• All course participants must be classroom teachers who are currently
assigned to teach students in elementary, middle grades or high school.

Map of Current M3T Fellows (20 Fellows across 17 districts)
● The aim of our network’s improvement work: Increasing the number of students engaged in “doing math” in classrooms (defined by the mathematical habits of mind)
● Initial collective effort geared toward addressing problem of students’ comfort with sharing mathematical thinking
● “Plan Do Study Act” cycles around Notice/Wonder routines in our various contexts

Improving the Norms and Culture for Mathematics Classroom Talk
● Moving toward attending to a different facet of the problem: How a lack of certain prerequisite math skills prohibits students from “doing math” at grade/course-level
● Small groups of fellows formed around topics such as fractions, factoring polynomials, and solving algebraic equations○ Researching the topics; considering routines as “change
ideas” to testBarbara Zingg
