Summer 2017 Mathematics
Professional Learning Opportunities
HIgh Quality Learning and Collaboration
Oakland Schools offers a variety of quality professional learning opportunities. This flier lists opportunities for summer 2017 including opportunities for elementary, middle, and high school teachers in JUNE, JULY, and AUGUST. Please follow the links within particular items for more detailed information.
Elementary School
Elementary Fractions Content Institute
This series is designed to deepen teachers’ and/or administrators' understanding of the development of fractions across grades 1 through 5. There will be an emphasis placed on the content described in Michigan’s Mathematics Standards for grades 3 through 5, including the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Educators will actively engage in mathematical tasks selected to highlight the ways in which students’ understanding of fractions is expected to deepen and extend over time. As participants work and learn together, they will consider the interplay between the mathematical content and the instructional strategies we use to help students learn that content.
- JUNE 26, 27, & 28, 2017
- Registration $70 for Oakland County Teachers/$90 for out of county
- Stipends are available for Oakland County Teachers
- Colleagues are encouraged to attend together as a team (e.g. general education and special education teams, grad band teams, etc.).

Add+Vantage Math Recovery® Course 1 (AVMR 1)
Add+VantageMR® (AVMR) Course 1 focuses on the use of data to inform whole classroom and small group instruction. Educators learn to use a set of common, interview-based assessments. Learning experiences then address how to analyze these assessment data and use them to make instructional choices that are appropriate for students’ current levels of numeracy understanding. Content addressed in Add+VantageMR® Course 1 includes:
- Number Words & Numerals
- Structuring Numbers
- Addition & Subtraction to 20
Please note: Attending and participating in all four days of this series is required. Full completion of AVMR Course 1 is a prerequisite to AVMR Course 2.
- August 2-3; September 20-21, 2017
- Registration $500 per educator (Oakland County only)
- Stipends available for August 2 and 3, 2017

Routines and classroom ready resources will be shared. Please see our other SDI math course for Emergent learners in November or March if your students have complex, moderate, or severe disabilities. This course compliments the Math Trajectories for Alternate Assessment and Math Foundations courses but any special educator seeking to enhance mathematics instruction for their students may participate. Teachers will receive math manipulatives, classroom ready materials and may be eligible for a stipend.
Summer option: August 3, 2017 8am - 3pm Oakland Schools
School year option: October 24, 2017 8am - 3pm Oakland Schools- Register through the Oakland Schools Professional Development page. for the August date now.

Trajectories for Alternate Assessment
This two day course introduces participants to the early learning math trajectories for numeracy and geometry concepts. Participants receive an assessment kit with manipulatives and ongoing free access to assessment charts, tasks, and shared instructional resources via miPLACE. The focus is on K-12 alternate standards for mathematics and classroom instruction that supports students who have moderate, complex, or severe impairments (Participation, Supported, and Functional level students).
Teachers can extend their learning by signing up for the Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) MATH for Emergent or Conventional learners as a follow-up to this course.
