Improvement by Design: Wisdom from Teachers Drives Revision of San Francisco's Mathematics Core Curriculum
Noam Szoke, Lizzy Hull Barnes, and Jim Ryan
NCSM National Conference, April 2018

How do we design for curriculum that balances innovation with a coherent experience for students? In this interactive session, we will share the processes that San Francisco Unified School District has used to develop and iterate on a curriculum that meets the needs of our diverse population in an ever changing digital world. Participants will also delve into SFUSD’s Digital Math Teaching Toolkit, including video podcasts describing the units and PD modules. Bring a device! Download a copy of the presentation.
