| Abstract | The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematical Practice describe the "habits of mind" that teachers should develop in their students--the foundation for successful implementation of the content standards. This professional development resource helps principals and math leaders grapple with the changes that must be addressed so that teachers can implement the practices required by the CCSS. Features include: A clear explanation of the Standards for Mathematical Practice; Techniques to help leadership teams collaboratively implement and maintain the new standards, A proficiency matrix with examples of instructional strategies for helping students reach competence in each standard, In-depth examples of how leaders can support teachers in implementing the CCSS in the classroom. Readers will find reproducible pullout tools to help with the change process, including an instructional sequence chart. A comprehensive and easy-to-use resource for teachers, district and school leaders, and mathematics curriculum coordinators, The Common Core Mathematics Standards provides the definitive road map for leading the change necessary to align math instruction with best practices. |
