2010-11 School In-Service Training Grants (Pre-K-5) Recipient

Math Professional Learning Community

Rohr Elementary Math Professional Learning Community's goal is to continue to actively develop number sense and flexible thinking of numbers from kinder through sixth grade through effective teaching strategies, data collection and analysis. Our objective is to have all teachers kinder through sixth trained in the problem based learning approach to teaching mathematics that is focused on procedural skills and conceptual understanding, through the use of math routines and centers, while addressing the needs of diverse learners. With the assistance of the Mathematics Education Trust grant funds Rohr would be able to continue to: provide teacher in-services and parent workshops in the area of math, provide model demonstration lessons and observations with constructive feedback, assign math collaboration time to analyze data and plan interventions, monitor the implementation of new math models, and measure the impact of our project on students, teachers and parents.
