NC DPI is offering course-specific professional development to support
secondary mathematics teachers in implementing the North Carolina Standard
Course of Study, based on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
Faculty from Meredith College, UNG-Greensboro, and Appalachian State
University, along with secondary teacher leaders, will provide 2-day institutes
for Math I and Math II. These trainings are a repeat of this past summer’s
institutes, so the goal is to reach additional participants who were not able
to attend at that time. These professional development institutes will focus on
critical aspects of the standards for each of the courses - and will model the
Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Highlights of the professional development include opportunities for participants to focus on
• Learning new content
• Solving tasks in context
• Engaging in conversations
• Communicating mathematical understanding
• Making connections within mathematics and across disciplines
• Building coherence in the curriculum
• Cultivating pedagogical diversity
This professional development is provided free to LEAs/Charter Schools. Each participant is requested to bring a hard copy (printed on one side only to allow for notes) of the Standards for Mathematical Practice (pages 6-8 in the Common Core) and a copy of the standards for the particular course you are attending. Participants are also asked to bring a graphic calculator.
The first training to be offered will take place on February 20-21 at the NC TeleCenter, 415 East Blvd, Williamston and will cover Math II. On March 10-11 the Math I Institute will be held at Johnston Workforce Development Center, 135 Bestwood Drive, Clayton, NC 27520.
