Jan 8, 2014 | LACOE EC 107 | $75 | 8:00am-3:30pm

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics and Next Generation Science Standards were designed to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in mathematics and science. This calls to attention the need for students to begin working toward 21st Century skills to become better prepared for STEM related careers and experiences. This workshop is a blend between the use of technology for learning and face-to-face experiences.

This one-day training is designed to provide participants with the following knowledge, skills, and resources:

• A brief overview of the STEM Initiative;
• An understanding of the depth of knowledge required of students;
• An overview of the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards;
• Lessons infused with the Standards focused on modeling;
• Effective instructional strategies to increase student proficiency with the standards.

The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects calls attention to the importance of informational text, expository writing, and text complexity in preparing students for college, career, and citizenship in the 21st Century.

This two-day training is designed to provide participants with the following knowledge, skills, and resources:

• A brief overview of the Common Core State Standards for Math and English Language Arts;
• An understanding of the depth of knowledge required of students;
• An overview of the Next Generation Science Standards;
• Lessons infused with the Standards focused on modeling; and
• Effective instructional strategies to increase student proficiency with the standards.

 Implementing Common Core State Standards Math in the K-2 Classroom (http://lacoe.k12oms.org/1542-76617)

Jan 13, 14 & 24, 2014 | San Jose Charter Academy, West Covina | $250| 8:00am-3:30pm

8:00am-8:30am Networking and Continental Breakfast
8:30am-3:30pm Workshop

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics were designed to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in mathematics. It is considered robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need in preparation for college, career and citizenship in the 21st Century. Implementation of the Mathematics Standards requires a shift in classroom instruction and assessment practices.

This three-day training is designed to provide participants with the following knowledge, skills, and resources:

• An understanding of the Standards of Mathematical Content and Practice and implications for teaching and learning;
• Requirements for student success with assessments aligned to the standards;
• An understanding of the depth of knowledge required of students;
• Lessons infused with the Standards of Mathematical Practice with a focus on modeling;
• Effective instructional strategies to increase student proficiency with the standards;
• The progressions of each domain of the standards across the grades; and
• Implications for English Learners and other special needs populations.

 CCSS and TMEL:  Teaching Math to English Learners 6-12 (http://lacoe.k12oms.org/1542-76712)

Feb 20, 21, Mar 14, 2014 | LACOE EC 202 | $250| 8:00am-3:30pm

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics were designed to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in mathematics. These sessions provide participants with effective research-based differentiation strategies that ensure access to standards-based elementary mathematics for all students, specifically English Learners.

The Region XI California Network will share materials and strategies that can be used district-wide to improve English learner mathematics outcomes.

This three-day training is designed to provide participants with the following knowledge, skills, and resources:

• Develop an understanding of the implications of the Standards for Mathematical Practice for teaching English learners;
• Build connections between prior knowledge and the mathematics standards using multiple representations to foster comprehension;
• Discuss flexible groupings of students for maximum use of language as a tool for learning mathematical content;
• Make use of CELDT data and language development performance indicators to differentiate mathematics instruction and bridge to the Common Core Standards for Mathematical practice; and
• Promote 21st Century skills by addressing communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and making connections across and between disciplines.
