Optimizing the Common Core in Mathematics
Todaysmeet, a micromessaging tool for idea sharing, was available for attendees to post comments at a recent Math policy conference on Long Island called "Optimizing the Common Core in Mathematics Where Are We Now? Where Do We Need To Go?". A sample of the ideas I shared:
"There are pockets of excellence everywhere incl NYC"
"variety of instr strategies: hands on, lecture, exit slip, independent work, group work, etc esp for double periods to keep s's engaged"
"seeing content is an equity issue so that s's have educational and career opps"
Here is a link to the entire conversation about Common Core Math and student achievement. Check out this New York middle school teacher on Get Excited About Assessments.
