Math and SPED Professional Learning Community
Sense-Making with Language-Rich Math Tasks
March 15, 2018, 4–6 PM at Everett Middle School
Come join your colleagues in learning and working together to:
- support students with IEPs to access grade level math learning through essential understandings
- create a community of math educators who support students with IEPs to learn and share best practices
- prepare educators to become resources in their schools for providing access to rigorous grade level math for all students.
The PLC is open to all K–8 math educators, including SDC teachers, co-teachers, RSP teachers, general education teachers who support students with IEPs, paraprofessionals, IRFs, ARTIFs, coaches, and administrators. This is the third session of three-part PLC series. The session will include both learning together time and working/planning together time.
Prop A hours may be utilized. Ask your principal for pre-approval and bring your passport to be signed. To register, please complete the Google registration form: goo.gl/g3uLrY For more information see the Math & SPED PLC Flyer.

Problem-Solving Cycle Teacher Leaders
The Problem-Solving Cycle Teacher Leaders will gather for their Teacher Leader Preparation Day on Wednesday, January 31 at Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, in the iLab (room 301). Teacher Leaders will continue to build a trusting community in order to take risks and model vulnerability to learn more from each other. Using district-provided tools (Stronger & Clearer, Dimensions of Teaching and Learning, and the Core Curriculum), Teacher Leaders will focus on language learners to amplify rather than simplify language rich tasks. We will review and revise a lesson as part of the intentional and strategic planning process of language development and production to increase access without decreasing rigor.

Course Collaboration Days
All middle school math teachers in the Teacher Leader PD structure will gather for Course Collaboration Days in January or February.

They also build relationships and learn with colleagues across sites. The participating schools are: Alice Fong Yu, A.P. Giannini, BVHM, Claire Lilienthal, Francisco, James Lick, Lawton, Marina, Presidio, Rooftop, Revere, Roosevelt, and Vis Valley.
