Professional Learning Series and Book Study
It's not too late to register!
Join the ADE Math Team as we embark on a statewide journey into the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) publication of Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All. This will be a combination of different learning experiences; we will incorporate elements of a book study, professional learning, panels and office hours to best support educators in their learning.
Principles to Actions - Executive Summary
We will unpack the reading from Principles to Actions over 12 professional learning sessions. This will be coupled with 10 office hour sessions where educators can drop in and talk about how they are putting learning for Principles to Actions into practice, ask questions, share cheers and challenges.
Our next scheduled meetings:
Tuesday, October 4th - Session 4: Mathematical Teaching Practice #3, Use and Connect Mathematical Representations
Tuesday, October 18th - Session 5: Mathematical Teaching Practice #4, Facilitate Meaningful Mathematical Discourse
Tuesday, November 1st - Session 6: Mathematical Teaching Practice #5, Posing Purposeful Questions
Tuesday, November 15th - Session 7: Mathematical Teaching Practice #6, Build Procedural Fluency from Conceptual Understanding

Graham Fletcher is SOLD OUT! But get on the waiting list!
Things come up and people who are registered may not be able to attend. So be sure to register today and will notify you if a slot opens up!
ADE will be hosting a visit from Graham Fletcher for a special professional development opportunity for educators.
Graham Fletcher has served in education as a classroom teacher, math instructional lead, and currently as a math specialist. He is continually seeking new and innovative ways to support students and teachers in their development of conceptual understanding in elementary mathematics. He is the coauthor of Building Fact Fluency and openly shares many of his resources at gfletchy.com.
November 16th - Grades K-3
The Power of Progressions: Untangling the Knotty Areas of Teaching and Learning Mathematics
-
As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore some tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
The Power of Progressions: Untangling the Knotty Areas of Teaching and Learning Fractions
- Let’s explore some key understandings involving fractions by examining the developmental progression of models, strategies, and concepts and how they all build on one another. Many times, as our fraction units near, the emphasis on teaching and learning mathematics shifts to rules and procedures, which shouldn't be the case. To avoid this approach, we'll identify how simple changes in everyday practice can leave a math residue that builds solid reasoning and makes student understanding stick.

Standards for Mathematical Practice and SEL
Bring mathematics and social emotional learning together to support all students! If you are looking for a away to bring more SEL into the classroom without creating one more thing to do, we have the perfect tool for you. We recently designed a new resource that bridges the SMP's and SEL.
