Processes for Increasing Student Achievement
Effective coaching relationships are highlighted as crucial for enhancing mathematics teaching and learning. The book explores strategies and practices that foster collaboration between coaches and educators, ultimately leading to better student outcomes in math. It emphasizes the importance of communication, support, and professional development in creating a positive impact on teaching methodologies.
Transforming Practice Through Team Leadership
Effective leadership is essential for transforming math instruction under the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The book emphasizes the importance of fostering specific "habits of mind" in students, which are critical for mastering content standards. It provides strategies for educators to implement these practices, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of mathematical concepts. By focusing on both leadership and instructional techniques, the book aims to enhance the overall quality of math education.
Focusing on a process-based approach, this book outlines how to develop a high-quality mathematics program rooted in five principles from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and four leadership principles from the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM). The authors, recognized mathematics educators, provide practical strategies and insights aimed at enhancing mathematics education and leadership in the field.
The authors provide instructional strategies for maximizing students' mathematics comprehension through interactive visual thinking. Included are grade-specific sample problems and concrete examples of each strategy.
