122 - Components

There are two components to the Numeracy Team’s professional development offerings

1.     Transitioning to Iowa Core Math (TICM) is content focused – developing understanding in the content shifts that have occurred as a result of the adoption of Iowa Core Mathematics standards.
2.     Best Practices in Mathematics is pedagogy focused – helping teachers to implement the Habits of Mind and Interaction which allow students opportunities to practice being a mathematician.  The course of Best Practices includes live classroom work in the form of Studio days throughout the school year.  This course is based on the research of Teacher’s Development Group.
