Alignment of our MiC outcomes
Over the summer and Fall of 2015 we worked to increase the coherence between our MiC outcomes in order to better focus and streamline our work. After reviewing the 2015 CAASPP results, surveying the content of the CCSS-M and considering what major “teaching/learning” variable we might best be able to impact, we decided to focus on developing students’ abilities to communicate their reasoning. The diagram below demonstrates how our current MiC outcomes are related to each other and “communicating reasoning.”
Vision for math instruction - Teachers inspire all students to be responsible learners through the development and facilitation of rigorous, meaningful, cohesive, and accessible math instruction.
