Georgia Milestones
Professional Learning
What does it look like when Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks tasks are used in classrooms?
To answer this question, we filmed several classrooms in two Georgia elementary schools in which teachers are using Georgia Curriculum Frameworks tasks. The resulting brief video is designed as a professional learning resource intended to spark discussion and reflection among teachers, mathematical instructional coaches, parents, administrators, and parents. You can view the video at: https://www.georgiastandards.org/Georgia-Standards/Pages/Looking-Inside-Mathematics-Classrooms.aspx2016 NCTE Annual Convention Georgia World Congress Center Atlanta, Georgia November 17-20, 2016 Workshops: November 17, 20-22 NCTE School Membership NCTE's School Membership Program is designed to help educators improve literacy—as a team.
