4. Purpose
• School Improvement Plan
– Faculty PD in math
• PDS Network Goal
– Support pre-service and in-service activities to
enhance professionalism
• School based focus area for Citrus Grove
– Collaborate with Stetson University to provide PD
activities for faculty in the area of mathematics
instruction
6. Format
• Hybrid Model
– Face to face meetings
– On-line discussion forum, task
submission, and idea networking via
Edmodo
• 6 Professional Development Points
Primary Intermediate
Number Sense Number Sense
Addition & Subtraction Multiplication & Division
Topics
**Originally, we had planned on covering 3 books. Each group would
have their grade-appropriate book as well as the Number Sense
Routines book.
7. Teacher Led Face-to-Face
Sessions
December 19 - January 30 - February 27
•Cross grade-level and subject sharing
•Collaboration of:
–New Strategies
–Implementation Methods
•Hands on Activities/Modeling
8. Online Format
• used for the online discussions
• Edmodo Group was divided into two small groups.
– Primary (Addition and Subtraction)
– Intermediate (Multiplication and Division)
– Cross group discussion was available in the main discussion forum
• Participants were expected to make two online contributions in
between each face-to-face session.
– Participants:
• Write a reflection of the topic at hand. (i.e. Do I already do this? Do I
anticipate issues with using this in my classroom? What do I like? How
might I use this?)
• Respond to the reflections of other participants. (i.e. Tips or tricks
they learned when implementing a certain strategy, agreements,
disagreements, constructive advice or questions)
14. Sample Prompt for Discussion
One of the big ideas from Chapter 1 is
“Mathematizing”. “It is the questions that drive
mathematics. Solving problems and making up new
ones is the essence of mathematical life”. (p. 12)
Discuss with your group what you think the
difference is between mathematics and
mathematizing. What evidence of either do
you see in your classroom?
15. Face-to-Face Activity
As Michael drove home from his visit, he began to
think about the different ages in his family. He is 31, his
younger brother is 29, his mother is 55, and his dad is
57. During his drive, Michael pondered a number of
questions related to these ages.
Directions:
With your group, solve the problems located in the
center of your table.
If different group members have different ideas, use
more than one to determine which you like best.
SHOW YOUR WORK!
16. The point?
Activities such as this enlightened our
teachers!
This helped us to emphasize the importance of
discussion and “stretching it.”
By asking the students to explain their
strategy, other students walk away from the
lesson with new ideas and explanations from
their peers.
Allows the educator to uncover
misconceptions and correct it.

22. Impact
• Multiple teacher-led hybrid book studies in the 2013-2014
school year.
• Student FCAT scores shows large growth. 3rd grade FCAT
scores: (100% teacher participation!)
• 2012 Testing Year: 35% scoring a 3 or higher.
• 2013 Testing Year: 68% scoring a 3 or higher.
• Academic coaches and PD facilitators have
targeted student discussion as one of the primary
focuses of math instruction.

Comments and Questions
Notes de l'éditeur
Let’s get more accurate data from school this upcoming week and revise
I recall from my notes that the math group study was an outgrowth of the school’s SIP, a PDS focus area, and is aligned with a goal of the PDS network
Am I correct to say that the areas that were focal are those listed under the P and I faculty groups?
Can we grab an image of a group posting on EDMODO to insert into this slide?????KADY CAN YO U SEND THIS TO ME OR SEND ME THE SIGN IN INFORMATION I NEED TO PULL AN IMAGE?
Hi My name is Sarah Sieg. I am a 3rd Grade Teacher at Citrus Grove. Last summer I facilitated the book study on Number Sense Routines by Jessica Shumway.
As Kady noted, we realized early on that 2 books were too many for the spring pd. So we moved Number Sense Routines to the summer. This was serendipidous because this book led itself to a more hands on in depth pd. It provided our teachers with background knowledge on how children acquire or learn number sense and provided many routines they could implement in their classroom the next day or the fall.We had 30 teachers participate….that is a little less than half of our faculty.I broke the book up into 4 sessions that were held bi weekly. This worked well for our teachers because they had enough time to read the assigned text and prepare for the upcoming session as well as still have time to spend with their family. At each session teachers discussed what they were seeing in the classroom hand how to implement the number sense routines we were learning from the book.Teachers received a stipend from title 1 and 6 professional development points for participating.
Here are two of many hands on activities that we did in the book study. Quick Images helps students see numbers in many ways. It is a visual routine. Today I brought some dot plates to show how you can level it to your students. I have also posted a document from the internet that has dot plate images you can use.My next activity that we Will DO is ten frame quiz-quiz trade. Quiz – Quiz Trade is a kagan strategy that is used for reviewing concepts and vocabulary. It can be done from 5 to 15 minutes.Here is the structure: Greet your partnerPerson who has the most teaching experience goes first. Do rock paper scissors if you have been doing the same amount of teaching.Show card for 3 – 5 seconds “flash it”Ask 4 questions. What do you see?How many to 5 or more than 5?How many to 10?Tell me a number sentence.Thank your partner. TRADE cards and find a new partner.So Kady and I will model and then it is your turn.
HOW HAS THIS FACULTY PD EXPERIENCE INFLUENCED PD THIS ACADEMIC YEAR (2013-2014) AND/OR HOW HAVE FACULTY CHANGEDON ACCOUNT OF THIS PD EXPERIENCE? DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?
