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;
  • An understanding of “Career and College Ready” and its implications for high school course pathways; and
  • Implications for English Learners and other special needs populations.
