Common Core Leadership Course: Ensuring a Successful Transition

This full-day course provides leaders with insight into the structure and pedagogy of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice and a vision for classroom implementation. Participants will learn what to look for during classroom observations to assess instruction in the “processes and proficiencies” outlined in the standards, as well as ways to support teachers as they begin to incorporate the standards into their classrooms. Participants will also observe a lesson taught by a Math Solutions instructor that demonstrates “best practice” instructional strategies.
