Introductions
Logistics for the day
Conversation Starters – Talk to people with different color papers than yours. One starter per person, record names, create a mental image.
Welcome!

1. Enjoy math with our colleagues.
2. Share coaching/leadership ideas with one another.
3. Look at alignment of the state PEs and Common Core Standards.
4. Examine Best Practices for teaching math.
5. Learn (or revisit) strategies for continuing coaching work.
Goals for Our Time Together
![Page 4: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Write what you hope to learn or questions that you have about math in the frame.
As we progress through the next two days, record a sentence or two about each topic you want to remember and connect it to your ideas/questions.
Framing Questions
![Page 5: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reflect on the Best Practices Sheet.
How would you know if you saw this practice in a classroom? How would it look? Sound? Feel? (Indicators)
Where have you seen it? What do you wish were happening in classrooms at your school? (Needs Assessment)
Focusing Our Work
![Page 6: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What would your teachers choose as a focus?
What would you need in order to make a difference in this area?
What strategy could you use to initiate a conversation around the Best Practices?
Make a Plan

1 minute and counting!
Take a Break

You need a Folding Fractions worksheet and some patty paper.
You are creating fractions of the diagonal of the paper.
How can you be sure of the fractions you are finding? You must be able to
justify each one.
Just a Little Math

Starting and Restarting Coaching

Use data. Don’t pretend! Listen – really! Set goals together. Be worthy of trust. Respect perspectives and goals. Persist. Give options.
Enroll

Beware being the “expert”.
Lesson Study
Give the teacher something active to do in an observation.
Model
![Page 15: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How is your observation different from an evaluation observation?
Establish what you are looking for.
Stay focused on the students.
Use protocols.
Help teachers be explicit about their teaching moves. Affirm what they are doing right.
Observe
![Page 16: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There is always a lead and support teacher. Co-planning is the key. Establish roles and a purpose.
Co-Teach
![Page 17: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Consulting• “I”• Share
information, advice and resources. Support inexperienced teacher.
Collaborating• “We”• Co-develop
ideas, information and strategies. Model collegial relationship as a standard for teaching.
Coaching• “You”• Support
protégé’s instructional decision making and ability to reflect on practices. Increase ability of a teacher to become a self-directed learner
Collaborative Conversations
![Page 18: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is getting in the way of students making progress?
Who is making progress? Who is not?
What is in our control?
Don’t leave a problem conversation without a plan to try.

1. The teacher who is this meeting’s student work provider sets the context.
2. Teachers examine work for 3 focal students silently. Then they discuss their concrete evidence and interpretations for each student.
3. The group proposes diagnostic questions and follow up activities.
4. Each member makes plans and commits to a follow up.
Examine Student Work
![Page 21: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Work on the “Strings” by sorting the cards into groups that appear to have commonalities.
Separate each group into subgroups. What do they have in common? Write the reason for your subgroups on a 3x5 card.
Can you think of other sub-groupings? Add to your 3x5 card.
Facilitate Student Discourse
![Page 23: Washington State Math Coaches](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161ce550346895dd1bd40/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Watch the videos. What is significant about each stage of the lesson?
What would you affirm for the teacher?
What are you wondering?
How does the teacher support learning, get at the heart of misconceptions and encourage the students to make meaning of the notions?
Facilitating Student Discourse

promote discussion and communication. have the potential to reveal underlying principles or
make connections between areas of mathematics. encourage learners to develop confidence and
independence as well as to become critical thinkers.
