Administrator Academy Course 3695: Guiding Principles for Instructional Leaders to Support High Quality Mathematics Programs

Course Description:

This course will help instructional leaders develop and support high-quality mathematics programs by considering the essential elements that contribute to effective teaching and meaningful learning. In this 6 hour course (two three-hour sessions), participants will explore the essential elements articulated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All. These include access and equity, curriculum, assessment, professionalism, tools and technology, and teaching and learning. Participants will analyze the current state of their mathematics programs, assess how they support the implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), and consider the roles of instructional leaders in guiding mathematics improvement efforts. They will also consider specific areas of focus that can support planning to improve mathematics programs by engaging various stakeholders.
