Professional Learning

Professional Development Modules

Designed for site-based professional learning., each module includes facilitator notes, slide deck with embedded video, and participant materials.

We believe that change happens through collaborative teams. Through the thoughtful use of these tools and resources, learning communities can work toward the vision below.

Vision Statement for Collaborative Teams
Our team will become a community of learners

that continues to deepen our practice of collaboration;
that treats teaching as groupworthy;
that takes collective responsibility for the department and all students, holding high expectations and a common vision for what it means to be a math learner;
that continues to work towards strengthening collective knowledge of content and of teaching within and across grade levels through reflection and refinement;
that attends each year to community safety and building off of each other’s unique strengths, so that our team grows and develops, working towards sustainability.

Developed by the SFUSD Complex Instruction Teacher Facilitator community using readings from Nasir, N. S., Cabana, C., Shreve, B., Woodbury, E., and Louie, N. (Eds.). (2014). Mathematics for Equity: A Framework for Successful Practice. New York: Teachers College Press.
