Teachers need consistent opportunities to collaborate, share, and challenge each other to not only deepen their practice, but to drive more equitable outcomes for students in math. This workshop explores how to explore lesson design and lead collaborative planning sessions for teachers. From task analysis to backwards planning, you’ll gain the tools and protocols needed to help your team shift their practice, align on look-fors for student mastery, add interventions and accelerations without sacrificing core content, and provide culturally affirming, engaging and meaningful learning math tasks to all students. When done consistently, collaborative planning sessions replace exclusionary practices with more equitable practices rooted in the belief that all children can learn at extraordinarily high levels, especially in math.

Workshop Outcomes

Revisit the Instructional Core as a framework for learning and teaching

Engage with a task analysis protocol to align on the level of rigor in math tasks

Define intervention and acceleration as part of targeted math instruction

Design a math lesson as a team that is inclusive of targeted instruction strategies

Identify equitable practices that support core grade-level instruction

Gain strategies for creating safe spaces for teachers to share and challenge each other

Leverage collaborative planning session protocols to prepare for team meetings

Did you know that math is the subject most prone to deficit thinking? Many people believe there is such a thing as a “math person” or a “math brain.” These biases make math inaccessible for some. But biases can be unlearned. Here’s how. As a leader—and as a school—it is imperative that you build a shared understanding for hiqh-quality, equitable instruction. In this workshop, you’ll dive into best practices. You’ll assess the quality of a learning task, observe a math lesson, and align on what rigorous, culturally relevant, and standards-aligned instruction looks like. We know all students are capable of high levels of learning. Now is the time to ensure math instruction holds teachers and students to the same high bar.

Workshop Outcomes

Define the Instructional Core as a framework for learning and teaching

Explore the importance of culturally relevant curriculum for all students

Distinguish between equitable and inequitable instructional practices

Conduct a math task analysis to assess rigor and relevance

Learn to use low-inference notes in observations to minimize bias

Commit to a mental model of what excellence and equity look like in math
