Tips for Engaging with the Course Series
Start with Introduction to NYCPS K-12 Mathematics Instructional Shifts: This course builds foundational knowledge. We strongly recommend that all staff complete it before moving on to the others.
Decide what comes next: The courses were designed to be completed in sequence, but each also stands on its own. Use the insights you gain from the first course to decide which shifts to focus on next based on your school's specific priorities and needs.
Encourage collaboration: Foster shared learning throughout the series by providing opportunities for teachers to discuss their reflections and insights together.
