Students of the Year - CONFIDENTIAL
Math Beliefs
Hi All
This is a draft of the math beliefs that the Restructuring Team worked on at the November 30 meeting. Please read over. We will have time to refine, agree, disagree and change in January.
In the Spring we will be having a conversation with grade levels at other schools to decide on essential standards for your grade level district-wide. We have not done the level of work around this that other sites have done. This is a constant struggle for me in this area. How much is too much and what is not enough work on standards? What is IMPORTANT is that you as a grade level feel confident that you can speak to essential standards with teachers from other sites. I am open suggestions on how to make this happen?
