Participants will:

Day 1 - Problem Solving Through Explicit Math Instruction: Leveraging High Quality Instructional Materials

  1. Align on the qualities and characteristics of HQIM and the rationale for using them in our math classrooms\,
  2. Define problem solving as a key math competency &\; explore how instructional approaches support student success\,
  3. Plan to implement HQIM in daily mathematics instruction\, and
  4. Study the progression of learning across middle grades with a focus on Numbers and Operations and Data\, Probability\, and Statistics.

Day 2 &ndash\; Data-Driven Decision Making: Leveraging Formative Assessment

  1. Examine \;the role of formative data in driving instructional decisions\,
  2. Identify \;opportunities to gather formative data (ex.discourse\, written work\, NAVVY)\, \;
  3. Analyze \;student thinking from HQIM lessons within the learning progression\, and
  4. Apply formative data to adjust instruction and plan targeted support that maintains grade-level expectations.

Day 3 &ndash\; Building Connections through Differentiated Instruction: Creating Access to Grade-Level Learning for All Students

  1. Define \;differentiated instruction and identify tools for creating access to grade-level learning\,
  2. Examine how HQIM supports access\,
  3. Apply knowledge of the Geometry and Measurement progression to plan a differentiated support\, and
  4. Reflect on your learning across the series and identify next steps for your practice.
