Strategies to support learning moving forward…
- Math lead, coaching and co-teaching
- Math PD, internal and external

Math data
Staff exploring possibilities related to the outcome of our work:
- Developing increased understanding of expectations ie.
computational fluency=conceptual understanding, efficiency, accuracy and flexibility
- Strengthening assessment of student achievement,
utilizing common tools eg. math running records, MIPI
- High impact strategies for mathematics in particular
spaced vs. mass practice
