Problem
• Algebra success rate in high schools is low in Los Angeles Unified School District.
• Failure in algebra “triggers dropouts more than any single subject” according to Superintendent Roy Romer.
• Teachers need time to rethink and revise their teaching strategies.

What Teachers Need
“To improve their mathematics instruction, teachers must be able to analyze what they and their students are doing and consider how those actions are affecting students’ learning.” NCTM Principles and Standards, p. 18

• Teachers increased their awareness of student thinking:– Acquaintance with alternative
solutions– Watchfulness of student misconceptions– Attentiveness to student attitudes– Responsiveness to student reasoning– Expectation of trajectories in student
thinking• Teachers increased the application of
their knowledge of student thinking:– Guiding principles for lesson design

How did the ITT professional development experience affect teacher beliefs and practices?
• Teachers increased their flexibility and resourcefulness– Departing from the textbook– Designing lessons based on student
learning needs• Teachers increased in their sense of
efficacy and confidence to find instructional solutions– Attitudes about students– Attitudes about self
• Teachers increased their interdependence and teamwork– During ITT– After ITT

1. Understand local context and teacher needs
2. Use teacher knowledge to build new knowledge
3. Focus on student improvement rather than teacher development
4. Provide tools and resources
5. Focus on what works, but ask tough questions
6. Create the environment that promotes engagement through empowerment
What We Must Do
![Page 32: It’s About Time: A Model for Transformative Professional Development Presented by Ivan Cheng Collaboration and Student Success Conference June 20, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0d4cd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Discussion
• What elements of this model did you like?
• What elements have we not considered?
• What would it take to make this work in your setting?
Where Do We Go Next?
![Page 33: It’s About Time: A Model for Transformative Professional Development Presented by Ivan Cheng Collaboration and Student Success Conference June 20, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0d4cd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What Elements Did You Like?
Identify the problem and come up with solutions “It’s the student’s fault” Focus on what teachers already know Teacher dialogue Sharing strategies Focused on structuring information rather than clinging
to book Attention to patterns and student understanding
![Page 34: It’s About Time: A Model for Transformative Professional Development Presented by Ivan Cheng Collaboration and Student Success Conference June 20, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0d4cd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What Have We Not Considered?
What about kids who don’t come prepared Who decides the curriculum? Or structure at the start? Future tracking of student achievement Intervention for support class during class? Survey students at the end of the course Return on investment based on numbers of students and
cost savings
![Page 35: It’s About Time: A Model for Transformative Professional Development Presented by Ivan Cheng Collaboration and Student Success Conference June 20, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0d4cd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Challenge
Leadership needs to shift “from one of bureaucratic authority, where change is led by telling and selling, to a leadership style of protecting commitment to shared values determined by teachers engaged in a collaborative and co-creative process.”
Dr. Timothy Kanold NCSM
President
Where Do We Go Next?
