Meeting the Demands of Mathematics Instruction in Today’s Classroom
Common Core? Mathematical Practices? Content and instructional shifts? College and career readiness? Has there ever been a more challenging time for mathematics education? You’ve probably caught yourself thinking about ensuring that math students develop desired academic behaviors so they’re ready for college credit-bearing courses or immediate placement in today’s workforce.
Adopt New Instructional Strategies
Educators learn how to:
• Change classroom instruction.
• Effectively implement the Common Core or college and career competencies.
• Implement new rubrics to observe for instructional behaviors.
Ensure that Students will be College and Career Ready
Educators learn how to:
• Teach for conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking.
• Integrate classroom technologies into mathematics instruction.
• Meet the content demands of the new standards.
Intervene with Strong Support
Educators learn how to:
• Differentiate mathematics instruction to meet individual needs.
• Teach to students’ misconceptions in addition to supporting basic skill development.
• Integrate research-proven strategies.
We are not just about the what of the Common Core; we are about the how of effective implementation.
We offer a wide array of services that focus specifically on changing classroom instruction. Addressing misconceptions requires more than just re-teaching and traditional remediation. This shift in classroom practice requires substantial professional development support, such as side-by-side coaching to support implementation.

Success Story
Middle School Math Scores Improve Across Grade Levels
Kansas City Public Schools
Kansas City, Missouri
CHALLENGE
Consistently low math scores over a period of years in Grades 6–8 led administrators to look for new ways to engage students in mathematics, more effectively address the standards, and improve student achievement.
SOLUTION
Pearson partnered with Kansas City, Missouri to craft a comprehensive CMP2™ implementation plan that involved a variety of professional development and job-embedded services, including Pearson’s highly effective coaching and modeling. As a result, the district’s math achievement scores increased.
RESULTS
Students improved mathematical proficiency and test scores across grade levels.

In May 2009, digits™’ Grade 7 materials were field tested under actual classroom conditions. Two math teachers worked together as both instructors and observers for four days. A diagnostic assessment was administered and graded prior to instruction, then used to inform the differentiated instruction that occurred on Day One. The remaining three days of field testing consisted of whole-group on-level instruction.

In this workshop, participants have the opportunity to apply the newly acquired differentiators to lesson plans for literacy and math. They focus on monitoring student progress, evaluating the success of the differentiated instruction, and adjusting the intensity and feedback to support students. Participants both collaborate and reflect to increase their institute experience.
OUTCOMES:
By the end of the institute, participants will be able to:
• Establish criteria for evaluating differentiated instruction strategies.
• Explore and practice strategies for differentiated instruction.
• Apply strategies for differentiated instruction to meet the needs of specific students.
• Collaborate and develop assessment tools for measuring successful implementation of differentiated instruction strategies.
TARGET AUDIENCE:

Differentiated Instruction: From Personalization to Application: Day 1 – Foundations and Strategies*
Number of days: 1
Examine how differentiating instruction during both whole-group and small-group instruction can help teachers meet the needs of all learners. During this workshop, participants learn an overview of strategies for differentiating instruction. They also explore tips for making both minor and complex adjustments to instruction. Participants leave with an understanding of how to differentiate by content, process, and product.
OUTCOMES:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Consider and evaluate core beliefs underlying differentiated instruction.
• Categorize strategies for differentiated instruction using a framework.
• Establish criteria for evaluating differentiated instruction strategies.

* Day 1 may be offered as a stand-alone session without Days 2 and 3.
Differentiated Instruction: From Personalization to Application: Day 2 – Focus on Special Populations
Number of days: 1
Understand how by considering the needs of specific populations of students, teachers can differentiate instruction in an effective manner. Participants learn strategies for differentiating instruction by varying input, output, and opportunities for participation. They specifically focus on differentiation that meets the needs of special populations of students as well as all students.
OUTCOMES:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Explore and practice strategies for differentiated instruction that focus on input, output, and participation.
• Apply strategies for differentiated instruction to meet the needs of specific students.

Differentiated Instruction: From Personalization to Application: Day 3 – Personalization and Application
NUMBER OF DAYS: 1
Discover how using the differentiation strategies of changing activity size and adapting instructional intensity can impact student learning. Participants categorize examples of strategies that differentiate by content, process, and product, and apply strategies for differentiated instruction to instructional materials. They collaborate on a rubric to assess teacher implementation of differentiated instruction strategies and explore how to determine when a strategy is no longer effective.
OUTCOMES:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Explore and practice strategies for differentiated instruction that focus on adapting activity size and intensity of instruction.
• Collaborate and develop assessment tools for measuring successful implementation of differentiated instruction strategies.

“We wanted to increase teachers’ content knowledge, and improve their pedagogy and assessment strategies. . . .Everybody is now speaking a common language about mathematics, and teachers are using the ‘Big Ideas’ to connect mathematical understandings. We test kids every six weeks with our district benchmark tests, and the scores are higher than they have ever been.”

The Common Core?
College and Career Readiness?
New Assessments?
A dynamic period in math education
Changing times in mathematics education call for changes in mathematics professional development.
Check all that apply.
• We would love to provide more professional development for our math faculty—but it has to focus on content and pedagogy.
• Our budgets for professional development are shrinking—and who can afford substitutes?
• We have limited time for professional development. We need our professional development in shorter chunks that fit our schedule.
So what if you could get the mathematics professional development you need, when you need it, and have it all be more cost effective?
Check all that apply.
• Professional development that integrates grade-level mathematics content with key pedagogical concerns that are integral to effectively implementing the Common Core
• Professional development that can include optional on-site or virtual coaching where trained coaches work with teachers and/or district coaches
• Professional development that can be delivered flexibly—face-to-face or virtually and in individual 90–120 minute modules or custom sequences that meet your particular needs
