Looking for Elementary STEM Leader to lead a math PD

If anyone is interested in leading the PD below, give me a call and we will get this promoted.  Monica and I did one a couple years back on fractions.  It was real easy to present. Everything is done for you. You just need to put in some time reading to stay ahead of the group.  I would not be able to attend every session, but I will help anyone who wants to try this.  I will send the attached flyer if you're interested.  This PD is put on by Debra Ball.  If you don't know who she is, she is one of the leading educational math experts in the country. Her PDs are amazing.

Greetings!

We are writing to you because you have previously implemented the modules created by the Dev-TE@M project at the University of Michigan School of Education. We will be piloting a new module starting Fall 2016, Geometric Measurement and Spatial Reasoning in Elementary Mathematics Teaching. This module, featuring the work of Douglas Clements and Julie Sarama, is particularly well suited to teacher professional development that aims to help teachers learn about, and teach, geometric measurement and mathematical practices featured in the CCSS-Math Standards. We are recruiting professional development providers who work with practicing elementary teachers to participate in the pilot during the 2016-2017 school year.

The module focuses on the following content:

• Mathematics: concepts, methods, and tools used in linear, 2D, and 3D measurement
• Student thinking: understanding trajectories of children’s reasoning about linear, 2D, and 3D measurement
• Teaching practice: using learning trajectories in assessing and curriculum analysis
• Learning from practice: studying learning trajectories of one’s own students through the use of video and anecdotal notes

There is no charge for using the Dev-TE@M module as a pilot tester.

Please read the attached flyer for more information about our module and share it with others who might be interested in piloting the module. If you have any questions about piloting or are interested in previewing the materials, please contact me at kennison@umich.edu.

Thank you for your time,

Aileen Kennison, on behalf of the Dev-TE@M project

Fwd: Opportunities to give input in Michigan's ESSA Plan

FYI

Are you a teacher and/or parent interested in giving input into the development of the ESSA plan?  MDE is forming two virtual focus groups:

a. Virtual Parent Focus Group. We want to know what parents think. We also know that it's hard for busy parents to come to in-person meetings in Lansing or even in their communities, so we created the Virtual Parent Focus Group. If you are a parent and want to be a part, please go to www.michigan.gov/essa, and click on the "Get Involved" link. We also encourage you to share this information with other parents in your networks. We will be providing information through this focus group, generating feedback through surveys, online chats, web-based feedback forms, etc.

b. Virtual Teacher Focus Group. Much like parents, teachers are a critical voice to have in the plan development. We are recruiting teachers to sign up for our Virtual Teacher Focus Group as well, at www.michigan.gov/essa, click on "Get Involved."

 

One aspect of the ESSA that may be of particular interest to educators is the shift in language from "Highly Qualified" to "Supporting Effective Instruction".  I've cited some of the language from the Title II section of the ESSA below:

 

''The purpose of this title is to provide grants to State educational agencies and subgrants to local educational agencies to—

''(1) increase student achievement consistent with the challenging State academic standards;

''(2) improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders;

''(3) increase the number of teachers, principals, and other school leaders who are effective in improving student academic achievement in schools; and

''(4) provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders.

PART A—SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION

SEC. 2101. FORMULA GRANTS TO STATES.

''(c) STATE USES OF FUNDS.—(pg 118)

 

''(B) TYPES OF STATE ACTIVITIES — The activities described in this subparagraph are the following:

''(i) Reforming teacher, principal, or other school leader certification, recertification, licensing, or tenure systems or preparation program standards and approval processes to ensure that—

''(I) teachers have the necessary subject-matter knowledge and teaching skills, as demonstrated through measures determined by the State, which may include teacher performance assessments, in the academic subjects that the teachers teach to help students meet challenging State academic standards;

''(II) principals or other school leaders have the instructional leadership skills to help teachers teach and to help students meet such challenging State academic standards; and

''(III) teacher certification or licensing requirements are aligned with such challenging State academic standards.

 

Another notable change is that the Title IIB MSP funds are gone.  There are no longer federal funds dedicated to supporting STEM education.  A state could choose to use their Title IV funds to support STEM Education.  I've attached the Title IV talking points sent out by the national STEM Education Coalition  which provides an overview of what states can choose to address in their plans.

• Skills4theFuture - working in teams, students practice skills and teachers learn how to embed them in classroom projects
• Gold Standard Project Based Learning - students drive their learning; facilitated by trained teachers
• Design Thinking - processes and protocols create constraints, leading to innovation and solutions to local problems
• Business and Non-profit Partners - build relationships and learn the ins and outs of an organization by working within their facility, with a skilled liaison

​Who should get involved? High school and middle school teachers who are ready to facilitate relevant project based learning in their classes.
There is no PBL prerequisite; experienced and inexperienced teachers will benefit equally. High school teachers will have priority.

 

 

What are the teacher participation dates?
