PreK–8 Schools Math Professional Development Structures

Teacher Leaders

​Math teacher leaders work together as a team to facilitate shared learning at their sites by planning collaboration and professional development. These teams work in collaboration with elementary Math Content Specialists to design and support collaboration and learning structures. ​

Collaboration Days

New teachers are invited to experience and learn pedagogy and content to support student-centered instruction, become familiar with revised core curriculum, and plan units in site or cross-site teams.

Site Based Support

Every site designs their own learning focus for mathematics, using the NCTM Mathematics Teaching Practices, the SFUSD Math Core Curriculum and the SFUSD Math Teaching Toolkit. Learning may include in-depth study of the standards, Lab Classrooms, and Lesson Study. Release time is provided to sites to support this learning.

Each SFUSD school has a Math Content Specialist liaison. Download the Elementary and K–8 TSA Liaison list. ​
