Cutting to the Core: Common Core Standards for Mathematics in Grades 3-5
June 17- 20, 2013
8:30 am – 3:30 pm
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS) are here! The content standards call for a balance between understanding and procedural skills. They are focused, coherent, clear and specific about what our students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade level. The standards for mathematical practice describe what it means for students to be mathematically proficient.
What implications do these new standards have for mathematics instruction now and in the next few years? In 2015 state assessments in mathematics will be based on these standards.
This 4 day course will help teachers of grades 3-5, principals and curriculum directors to:
- take a closer look at the content standards and what they mean at each grade level (Grade 3 – Grade 5)
- examine the learning progressions among the grade levels;
- align your current mathematics programs to determine which content matches the common core standards included what must be changed and what must be added;
- examine additional resources for deeper teaching and deeper understanding;
- reflect on models for developing the characteristics of a mathematically proficient student as envisioned in the Standards for Mathematical Practice;
- view and consider how the Ohio’s model curriculum can support implementation of the CCSSM in your classroom;
- examine the PARCC assessment framework and exemplars of assessment items from PARCC.
Location: All summer sessions run from 8:30 am until 3:30 pm and are held on the campus of John Carroll University.
Cost: The cost for the 4 day workshop which includes all materials is $395 per. Early registration is encouraged.
Non-degree graduate credit (optional): $320 for 2 credit hours
