Best Practices in Math Curriculum Standards Implementation (1)The CfBT Training Pack The CfBT Training Pack is a very valuable tool of professional development. It contains a series of workshops that have been conducted during 2005 by a highly professional team, which provided training about the best practices to implement the curriculum standards of English, Science and Math. This Training Pack is so valuable that it is actually now considered to be a reference for a lot of trainers and advisory teachers while supporting teachers within the IS. The Teachers’ Network is happy to put this Training Pack online. Each series of workshops related to a specific subject is going to be put in the form of PDF folders. The Math CfBT Training Pack includes the full and comprehensive content of 5 full day mathematics workshops. The five days were divided in the form of 16 training sessions. The material of each workshop consists of the workshop’s:
Aims of the workshop The purpose of the five-day mathematics workshops is to consider the curriculum standards for mathematics and to discuss the implications for planning the curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment. The workshops aim to help subject leaders and teachers to:
Throughout the workshop, time is allowed for you to study sections of the curriculum standards, to consider points for action arising from the sessions, and to make brief notes.
Objectives of each session Day 1: Using the standards Session 1: The mathematics standards By the end of this session you will: • know the aims of the workshop and the programme for the five days; • be familiar with the main features of the new curriculum standards for mathematics.
Session 2: Teaching and learning 1 By the end of this session you will: • understand some of the implications of the standards for teaching and learning; • be able to identify some features of effective teaching and learning; • be familiar with the purposes of the sample lesson plans for mathematics.
Session 3: Planning 1 By the end of this session you will: • understand how the curriculum standards, a scheme of work, lesson plans and published materials are complementary parts of a new approach to teaching; • be able to use the standards and scope and sequence charts to plan an overview of a year’s teaching for a grade in their school.
Session 4: The reasoning and problem solving strand By the end of this session you will: • understand the nature of the reasoning and problem solving strand of the mathematics standards and how it relates to the other three strands; • have begun to consider the implications of the reasoning and problem solving strand for teaching and learning.
Day 2: The shape of lessons and effective teaching Session 5: Teaching and learning 2 By the end of this session you will: • have considered some ways to begin and end lessons; • be able to identify features of effective oral and mental work in mathematics; • have developed some ideas for oral and mental starters.
Session 6: Teaching and learning 3 By the end of this session you will: • have considered some ways in which effective teaching can be developed in main teaching activities; • have considered some strategies for catering for the most and least able students in the class.
Session 7: Teaching and learning 4 By the end of this session you will: • understand the purposes of a consolidation phase in a lesson; • have developed some ideas for rounding off a lesson effectively.
Day 3: Planning a unit of work Sessions 8 and 9: Planning 2 By the end of these sessions you will: • have planned a detailed unit of work to cover several hours of teaching.
Session 10: Assessment By the end of this session you will: • understand the nature of formative and summative assessments; • have begun to plan assessment activities to incorporate into day-to-day lessons.
Day 4: Planning a lesson Sessions 11 and 12: Planning 3 By the end of these sessions you will: • be able to plan a lesson to fit into a unit of work.
Session 13: Selecting and using resources By the end of this session you will: • be able to develop criteria for evaluating textbooks; • be able to match specific objectives to units and pages in selected textbooks and vice versa; • have begun to consider objectives for which no materials exist.
Day 5: Leading developments Session 14: Leading developments 1 By the end of this session you will: • have considered the role of the subject leader in implementing the standards.
Session 15: Leading developments 2 By the end of this session you will: • have considered some strategies for developing and evaluating effective teaching.
Session 16: Leading developments 3 By the end of this session you will: • have considered some ways of supporting colleagues; • have identified some of the action needed to implement the standards successfully in their schools.
