Embedded Files
In a Learning Site, educators come together for a full day in a live classroom around a common area of practice (also can accommodate a ½ day model). Participants talk with the host teacher and set goals for their own classrooms. Participants who continue the learning through virtual follow-up sessions are also able to earn an academic ladder credit.
Elementary Illustrative Math Learning Site: If you or an educator you know is looking to see the IM curriculum at the elementary grades in action, this is an opportunity to join other educators for a day in a live classroom around a common area of practice. This learning site on 5/2/24 places the question of "How do we engage all students in rigorous IM tasks with an emphasis on student sense making?” within the context of a diverse classroom. Come see a 3rd grade math class, led by Kayla Cantu (3rd grade teacher) and Liz Bishop (ESL Teacher), facilitated by the instructional coach, Lisamarie Ivey, where students are engaging in grade level, complex IM tasks. After the observation, educators have a chance to think through and debrief with the host teachers around the hows and whys of their teaching practice with follow up coaching sessions for an ALC/PDPs.
Time: One half school day (sub $ available)
Feedback: 99% recommended
Credits: Up to 12 PD hours or 1 ALC
Capacity: 10-15 per session
Mode: In-person
Resources: Learning Site Packet, Debrief Notes
THANK YOU for the educators who attended our Learning Site at the Perkins Elementary School on the topic “How do we implement IM to create inclusive, student centered math learning experiences?” Our host teacher were Kayla Cantu (3rd Grade), Elizabeth Bishop (ESL) and Lisamarie Ivey (Instructional Coach).. We had 11 participants join from 6 different BPS schools and offices in this session.
After the session, 100% of participants (12 out of 12 exit ticket responses) said that they would recommend this session to a colleague. Additional comments from participants:
"I loved seeing an IM lesson in action"
"Loved having a chance to talk and create evidence, impact, and question based on observation."
"Thank you. We need more PD like this."
We asked, “What's one thing that went well during this session?” Sample responses:
“I get to hear the pro and con from the experience user to prepare myself for September”
“It was great to be able to ask questions to teachers and coaches who have actually implemented the curriculum.”
“The wide variety of experience with IM that participants brought to the session. Also the collaborative spirit during the debrief”
