We kicked off our community’s webinar series on January 18th with a presentation on the structure of the CCSS in Mathematics. Sara Delano Moore, Ph. D., Director of Mathematics and Science at ETA/Cuisenaire explored how the standards are organized (both K – 8 and 9 – 12) as well as how they differ from current state standards.  She also reviewed changes in language (e.g., domains instead of strands) and the new focus on understanding concepts in addition to procedural fluency. The partnership of Standards for Mathematical Practice and Standards for Mathematics Content in classroom instruction is a key element of our discussion.

As a member of this K-12 community, you'll be invited to a free webinar and live chat each month on a new topic. You'll have access to all of the recorded webinars, presentations, lesson plans, and resources, providing you with an online learning center you can return to at any time.  CE certificates are provided for attending and viewing the webinars.

Administrators, Math Coaches, Math Specialists, Curriculum Coordinators, teachers of mathematics and paraprofessionals are all encouraged to participate and support each other during this transitional period.  Questions and advice/sharing of ideas are strongly encouraged.
