Deepening Multilingual Newcomers’ Math Connections
We are a team of math teachers seeking to increase our abilities in building engaging lessons that honor the voice and identity of Multilingual learners.
Stronger Together: Co-Teaching Growth
This project strengthens inclusive co-teaching through sustained professional learning and structured collaboration among general education and special education teachers across grade levels.
Developing Strong Mathematical Thinking in the Classroom
Participating teachers will engage in course work focused on Cognitively Guided Instruction in Mathematics, trainings led by a math facilitator, and conferences designed to provide teachers with the necessary skill-set to tailor instruction to align with how students think. During release days teachers will design mathematical units of study, the cornerstone of each unit will be student work with a goal to progress conceptual understanding. Once participating teachers have mastered these skills they will lead Professional Development at both the site and district levels to share their learning.
Equity for SMHS Science Students
As SMHS science classes grow more diverse, our dedicated team aims to challenge and support all students, including language learners in college prep. Our goal is fostering a love for science and ensuring success for everyone.
Using Science and Social Justice to Raise Teaching Practice
Our project will serve teachers of students in a historically Black, disadvantaged, and low-income community facing severe environmental and social issues.
Project Based Geometry and The Trades
The project will help train teachers in how to implement a more rigorous math curriculum that will better prepare students for an advanced level of math. In addition, our team will find innovative ways to develop projects that make Geometry more relatable to the real world focusing on vocational careers.
