CUSD 200 Vision for InstructionMath Instruction

“An excellent mathematics program requires effective teaching that engages students in meaningful learning through individual and collaborative experiences that promote their ability to make sense of mathematical ideas and reason mathematically.”

-Principles to Actions Ensuring Mathematical Success for All

-National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Some Instructional Shifts in Mathematics

Math Beliefs Were…. Math Beliefs Now...

Mathematics should focus on practicing procedures and memorizing basic number combinations

Mathematics learning should focus on developing understanding of concepts and procedures through problem solving, reasoning and discourse

An effective teacher makes mathematics easy for students by guiding them step by step through problem solving to ensure that they are not frustrated or confused

An effective teacher provides students with appropriate challenge, encourages perseverance in solving problems, and supports productive struggle in learning mathematics

What is Blended Learning?

“Blended learning is using a combination of online opportunities and traditional instructional practices.

Students have control over their pace, path, place or time.”

-Meg Ormiston, Different Types of Blending Learning in Now

Classrooms

What Does Blended Learning Look Like in CUSD 200?

Blended students have access to their own device similar to a 1:1 environment

Students spend two weeks in the classroom before blending

The first two weeks are spent teaching soft skills and organization

Teachers spent the summer designing the blended learning experience for their course

Students receive assignments via Google classroom and a weekly schedule

Work spaces: LLC, Commons Area and Falcon’s Nest at WN

Student and Teacher Feedback “We can use class time to personalize and individualize learning more.”

“We had to reevaluate and be more selective

about the topics we are teaching.”

“We feel even more connected to our

learners.”

What is the future for our students?

Will they be prepared?

The Urgency of Advanced Communication Skills“The next generation of workers will need to become fluent in forms such as video, able to critically “read” and assess them in the same way that they currently assess a paper or presentation. They will also need to be comfortable creating and presenting their own visual information. Knowledge of fonts and layouts was once restricted to a small set of print designers and typesetters, until word processing programs brought this within the reach of everyday office workers. Similarly, user-friendly production editing tools will make video language—concepts such as frame, depth of field etc—part of the common vernacular.

As immersive and visually stimulating presentation of information becomes the norm, workers will need more sophisticated skills to use these tools to engage and persuade their audiences.“
