Collaborative Planning

Collaboration with colleagues to plan and reflect on instruction is an essential part of successful implementation of a high quality math program.
Picture
Effective mathematics teachers not only collaborate but also focus their collaborative efforts on improving instruction and student learning through the co-planning of lessons. Focusing teachers’ work within professional learning communities on detailed lesson planning has been demonstrated to be a highly productive strategy to support more in depth interactions within collaborative communities and effect change in teachers’ practice
- NCTM Principles to Actions

Teachers and schools that engage in better quality collaboration have better achievement gains in math and reading. Moreover, teachers improve at greater rates when they work in schools with better collaboration quality.

Collaborative Planning Includes
  • Doing math together to deepen content knowledge and anticipate student work
  • Looking at student work to notice what students know and are able to do
  • Looking at grade level standards and curriculum
Below are some tools for Collaborative Planning using the SFUSD Math Core Curriculum.
