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
