Posters for classroom displayOther materials you may think of

Teaching Channel www.teachingchannel.org-watch other teachers teach lessons that

incorporate strategies that maintain high level of cognitive demand in which students work independently, collaboratively with peers, and learn to critique their work and the work of others

Example 1 Gr 6-8 “Conjecturing About Functions”

Example 2 Any Grade “My Favorite No: Learning From Mistakes”

Click on the word “Videos” to search by subject, grade level, or topic to view lessons

Classroom Posters http://departments.jordandistrict.org/curriculum/mathemati

cs/elementary/CCSSM6/SMPposters.pdfStandards of Mathematical Practice contain the language

of the Common CoreSmall size for studentsGrant funding can be used to get large sized colored

postersTeachers and students can reference often. It will help

remind teachers what they should be teaching and help remind students how they should be thinking and learning.

Power Point – Resources Field TripCreated by Dr. Kate Remillard, instructor of math

teachers at St. Francis University. The websites offer great Internet Resources of lessons that are aligned with The Common Core for math teachers and other professional resources.

Note: The titles in the Power Point, when in presentation mode, are hyperlinks to the websites.

Click on the graphic to the right to runthe power point. Starting at the 11th slide the titles hyperlink you to on-line resources.

Common Core which requires a more student centered approach has begun to take effect ……………Algebra I began during the 2012-2013 school year

Literature, Biology, and Algebra I (2013-2014 school year )

Three year cyclical teacher evaluations (starting 2013-2014 school

year )

Common Core will take the place of the PSSA during the 2014-2015

school year
