NCSM Resources: PD

Session titles refer to ready to use professional development module. The modules support the exploration of two or more of the CCSS Mathematical Practices. The sessions are:

– designed to help teachers deepen their understanding of the practices and implement them in their classrooms

– situated in classroom practice, – anchored by a high demand mathematics task, – presented in power point format with slide annotations on the

Notes pages to support facilitation– 1.5 to 3 hours in length,– designed to be used individually or in combination

CCSS Curriculum Analysis Toolkit

Question: How do you pick a textbook when everything … including the latest version of McGuffey’s Reader (1836), promises to be aligned to the Common Core?

Textbook Section

Answer: Ignore the stickers and use the CCSSO Mathematics Curriculum Analysis Toolkit!

CCSSO Mathematics Curriculum Analysis Toolkit

The toolkit includes: • A professional development powerpoint

designed to ensure that reviewers are familiar with the three tools to be used in analyzing mathematics curriculum materials

• Tool 1—Mathematics Content Alignment

• Tool 2—Use of Mathematical Practices• Tool 3—General Overarching Issues

Financial Support for theCurriculum Analysis Toolkit

Brookhill Foundation (Kathy Stumpf)Texas Instrument (through CCSSO)

In addition to the three alignment tools, the Toolkit includes:

Tool Development Process

• Development Team formed in October 2010• First version of tools developed in November

2010• Initial drafts of tools piloted with groups of

elementary middle, and high school teachers in December 2010

• Tools revised based on these pilots• Tools reviewed by postsecondary mathematics

educators, mathematicians, and public school administrators nationally in January 2011

• Tools revised based on input from these reviewers to obtain final versions in April 2011

Strategic Decisions

• Complete the analysis in grade band groups: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12

• Focus on the structure of the CCSS, in particular direct attention toward content “trajectories” of related topics across grade bands (e.g., addition/subtraction, fractions, solving equations, quadrilaterals)

• Recommend analyzing the alignment for only a subset of content standards

• Allow ONLY the use of the primary student textbook and the Teachers edition when reviewing the materials

Tool 1: Content Analysis

The purpose of Tool 1 is to: • Determine the extent to which the content

standards are included in the mathematics textbook materials (Balance of Skills and Concepts)

• Determine the extent to which content standards are sequenced appropriately across grade levels in the mathematics textbook materials

Tool 1: K-5 Mathematics Content

• Two-Dimensional Geometry for Grades K-2

• Two-Dimensional Geometry for Grades 3-5• Place Value and Base 10 Concepts for

Grades K-2• Place Value Concepts for Grades 3-5• Addition and Subtraction for Grades K-2• Multiplication and Division for Grades K-5

Tool 1: 6-8 Mathematics Content

• Ratios and Proportional Relations

• Expressions and Equations

• Geometry

• Statistics and Probability

Tool 1: 9-12 Mathematics Content

• Reasoning with Equations

• Interpreting Functions

• Similarity and Trigonometry

• Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative

Data

Tool 2: Mathematical Practices

The purpose of tool 2 is to determine the extent to which the mathematics textbook materials reflect and involve students in the Mathematical Practices

Tool 2: Mathematical Practices

Look for multiple ways in which the Practices are seen within the textbook materials:• To what extent do the materials demand that students engage in

the Standards for Mathematical Practice as the primary vehicle for learning the Content Standards? (Mathematical Practices Content)

• To what extent do the materials provide opportunities for students to develop the Standards for Mathematical Practice as “habits of mind” (ways of thinking about mathematics that are rich, challenging, and useful) throughout the development of the Content Standards? (Content Mathematical Practices)

Tool 2: Mathematical Practices

Look for multiple ways in which the Practices are seen within the textbook materials:• To what extent do accompanying assessments of student

learning (such as homework, observation checklists, portfolio recommendations, extended tasks, tests, and quizzes) provide evidence regarding students’ proficiency with respect to the Standards for Mathematical Practice?

• What is the quality of the instructional support for students’ development of the Standards for Mathematical Practice as habits of mind?

Tool 3: Overarching Considerations

The purpose of tool three is to consider the ways in which instructional materials treat the overarching issues of

– Equity/Diversity/Access,– Formative Assessment, and– Technology

The reviewer is encouraged to consider the extent to which these variables support the teaching of Mathematics Core Content and Practices.

Mathematics Assessment Project (MAP)http://map.mathshell.org.uk/materials/

• 20 ready-to-use Lesson Units for Formative Assessment for high school. cross referenced to CCSS content and practices standards. (Ultimately 20 per grade 7-12)

• Draft summative assessments, aimed at “College- and Career-Readiness,” presented in two forms: (1) a Task Collection with each task cross-referenced to the CCSS, and (2) a set of Prototype Test Forms showing how the tasks might be assembled into balanced assessments.

• Professional development modules are under development
