This webinar shares about the development of a new resource, Math Milestones Asset Maps™. Math Milestones Asset Maps™ can be used to interpret and leverage assets in students' thinking towards understanding grade-level mathematics.

Hear from team members who have played a role in developing and using the Math Milestones Asset Maps™. Participants will understand what the Math Milestones Asset Maps™ are and what problems they might help solve. Educators will also share about their experience using the Math Milestones Asset Maps™ in their classrooms and what this work has meant to them. 

Prioritizing students’ social and emotional needs is a critical component of creating safe and supportive learning environments. As teachers welcome students back to classrooms this fall, this attention to social and emotional needs includes helping students transition back to in-person learning, responding to trauma due to COVID-19, and reflecting on the increased visibility of systemic racism. 

Student Achievement Partners is excited to share about a new initiative: Math Milestones. It includes an innovative set of resources that show the mathematics of each grade level K-8 as a set of carefully crafted tasks that fit on one page. During this webinar three of our Math Milestones team members, Harold Asturias, Phil Daro, and John Staley share the thinking behind our design, share our resources, and discuss exciting opportunities to be involved in this initiative.

When math teachers collaborate in a PLC, they often focus on planning and instruction. This webinar explores ways in which math content can be incorporated into PLC leading to deeper teacher understanding and increased student achievement in math.

The Common Core Shift of Rigor doesn't just mean "harder" or "trickier" but a balance of conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application in math instruction.

Even if you understand this definition of Rigor, however, it can still be challenging to understand what it means for a real classroom setting. How much time should be spent on conceptual understanding? Which element of Rigor should you focus on first? Can one lesson address multiple elements of Rigor?

Assessment can be harmful and dehumanizing. However, assessments can also be tools that positively support student learning, agency, identity, and belonging. Join us in this webinar to learn how one district is moving to rehumanize assessment as part of a broader effort to rehumanize teaching and learning. During the session you’ll hear educators from Newport-Mesa Unified School District and Orange County Department of Education examine the shift that’s taking place from classroom and district perspectives as they consider student and teacher identity, data literacy, and systems.

The teaching and learning of fraction concepts is complex and intricate. Join this webinar to learn about the new ATC fraction collection which features tasks from the grades 3-5 NF domain and extensions into middle and high school. Remote learning resources as well as resources to support students social and emotional learning will also be highlighted.

The world of online math resources can be overwhelming. You may be asking yourself things like, “Is this worksheet any good?” “How could I improve this resource to better serve my students?” In this webinar, Jason Zimba will explain what he looks for when he evaluates a set of math problems. Sign up and learn ways you can take your existing worksheets, quizzes, and end-of-unit assessments from good to great.

As educators, we often use the assessments embedded in our instructional materials as evidence of student learning. After all, what could be better aligned to the content students are learning in the materials than the assessments that came with those materials? In this webinar, we present a case for the use of external assessments as a vehicle for strengthening the use of instructional materials and surface some of the issues with only using curriculum-embedded assessments. Student Achievement Partners worked with educators from Tennessee and New Jersey to design a Grade 3 assessment on fractions. Join us to hear what they learned when they closely examined how the assessment matched up with their instructional materials (Go Math! and Eureka Math) and what insights the process gave them for thinking about Grade 3 instruction on fractions.

Although educators recognize what comprises a good professional learning experience and the research agrees, all too often professional learning in practice does not match those needs. In order for professional learning to be considered high quality and effective, three key principles must be addressed. During this webinar you'll learn the practical and research-based non-negotiables set forth in the new Principles for High-Quality, Standards-Aligned Professional Learning resource from Student Achievement Partners, and you'll be introduced to some of the specific action steps educators in any role can take starting as soon as tomorrow.

In this month’s webinar we’ll explore how to use the vertical and horizontal coherence of the math standards to address students’ unfinished learning within grade level contexts. See how you might use the coherence map and rich math tasks with multiple entry points to explicitly plan to address the needs of all students in your classroom.
