Grades 2-5 Bridges in Mathematics Getting Started with Concept Quest (CQ) Professional Development (PD), 2 hours
Who: Teachers in grades 2-5 who have Bridges in Mathematics (BIM) licenses (not Number Corner or intervention licenses) and will use CQ in core Bridges classrooms and/or for math WIN/extension.
What: Getting Started with Concept Quests (CQ), Grades 2–5 is a self-paced course that provides an overview of CQ for BIM 2nd Edition. CQ is a supplemental program for BIM that provides horizontal enrichment that builds on Bridges concepts, reinforces/extends grade-level learning, and provides independent and collaborative opportunities. Staff members using CQ must be trained in the program prior to using the materials, and all grade 2-5 Bridges in Mathematics teachers have access to CQ under their curriculum tab on their Bridges Educator Site (BES).
Option for PD Hours: To use CQ and be trained, staff must watch the 75 minute "Getting Started with CQ" webinar and read the overview and materials for their grade level(s). Those who choose to do the training outside of contractual time can receive 2 professional development hours by filling out the out of district PD form.

Facilitating Mathematical Discourse: Effective Teaching Practices with Christine Thomas
Who: Please note, K-8 staff who teach and/or support K-8 math can watch all the videos and review all the grade level documents in the chart on page 2 below for up to 5 hours of professional development upon submission of the out of district PD form.
Description: Build your understanding of the PK-8 math concepts, skills, and strategies progressions, as well as learn how to better support student access to grade-level standards and number and fractional sense through exploration of the following resources:
Graham Fletcher Progression Videos: show how math concepts build and grow through the grade levels
All Learners Network (ALN) High Leverage Concepts (HLCs) maps and videos: key understandings that help focus math instruction by identifying the big ideas PK-8 that will support success in the next grade. The HLCs are connected to multiple standards across grade levels.
ALN HLC Learning Progressions: help math educators break down how students develop the overall high-leverage concept for each grade level and across grade-level bands from early learning, elementary grade math, and middle school math content
The information and tools attached are meant to support core math teachers and special educators, as well as interventionists in identifying the most meaningful areas for focus during (specialized) instruction and/or math intervention. They are also helpful in planning instruction for students who struggle with misconceptions, or have an incomplete understanding from previous grade levels.
