- Co-Teaching a Geometry Class with the Geometry Strand Leader with the same students that I have in my current Algebra 1 "Growth Mindset" Class. Addtional students who struggled in Algebra 1 from other classes will be added to this class so they too can develop a Growth Mindset. Students will continue to receive a solid foundation in number sense, Mindset instructional practices. The idea behind co-teaching is to peer coach a teacher in instructional strategies to build capacity across the math team.
- Additional PD at site specifically targeted at incorporation of Mindset strategies for ALL students across the math strands.
- Teachers will exposed to more Brainology and Mindset research to encourage teaching of Mindset in their classrooms.
- An addtional Algebra 1 teachers will be peer-coached to create an additional Growth MIndset classroom, again with the focus on building capacity.
- Continued participation with the Instructional Leadership Corps and the Professsional Development Provider initiatives focused on providing instructional practices and SBAC assessment information to teachers across the state.
