Course Description
This professional development course is designed for educators in the Coeur d'Alene School District who wish to deepen their understanding of essential standards in elementary mathematics. Participants will engage in a comprehensive analysis of the State of Idaho's essential standards and apply the REAL method to identify critical benchmarks for their district. Through collaborative discussions and data analysis, educators will learn how to leverage assessment data from ISATs, ISAT interims, iReady, and classroom evaluations to make informed decisions regarding essential standards, curriculum and instruction.
Throughout the course, participants will develop a minimum of two proficiency scales for each grade level, exploring the Standards for Mathematical Practice and their implications for effective instructional strategies. This course emphasizes collaboration and communication with fellow educators, fostering a shared understanding and agreement on essential standards in the district.
