Mathematics Update – May 2011

Instructional Support Meeting
There will be an instructional support meeting on June 17th.  The meeting will be at the Delta Center from 1:00 – 4:00 focusing on data, Williams textbook issues, the RLA/ELA adoption, and other important end-of-year issues.

Elementary Math Professional Development from Pearson
Increase student learning and support quality mathematics instruction at your school.  Maximize the effective implementation of the enVisionMATH program by scheduling your professional development with a proven team of mathematics instructors.

The Pearson SB472 Mathematics Institute is a great success with LAUSD teachers.  Through the Math Module PD, teachers can extend their learning and explore more fully the math topics that are important to your school.

Select various modules based on the needs at your school.  The experienced instructors from the SB472 Institutes will conduct the professional development on your school campus with your teachers.  The sessions can be customized to meet your time constraints:  full-day, half-day and Saturday sessions.  These sessions can be tailored to fit Buy-Back and Tuesday PD days.  See flyer for more details or contact Joan Crist at joan@joancrist.com or 916/939-0293.
