        2022 Math Standards:  Rigor, Assessment & the K-12 Progressions

        The 2022 Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics define mathematical understanding as the intersection ofmathematical practices and content.  To support students in achieving proficiency on the MCA assessments, educators must move beyond "answer-getting" and embrace a "three-legged stool" of rigor:  balancing conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and real-world application.  This three-day professional development series is designed for K-12 educators and leaders to explore the vertical learning profressions tht build foundations in early grades for mastery in later years.  Paticipants will engage with high-leverage instructional routines and visual tools named throght the standards to ensure all students develop the habits of mind exhibited by mathematically proficient learners.Part

        Participants may register for one, two or all three days of the series.  There is a reduced cost for registering for all three days.

        Session Descriptions

        Sessions will be canceled on June 15 with fewer than 7 registrants per site.  Full refunds will be provided.

        2022 Math High School Standards Institute


        Join us this summer for a two day-professional learning experience designed to support middle and high school educators in bringing Minnesota’s 2022 High School Mathematics Standards to life through data and statistics.  This workshop is ideal for teachers looking to strengthen their own statistical understanding while building practical strategies for integrating meaningful data experiences into their classrooms.


        On August 6 and 7, participants will deepen their background in statistics, explore classroom ready routines that promote conceptual understanding, procedural skill, and real-world applications.  Teachers will collaborate to plan lessons that embed new data science benchmarks into existing courses and experience what a data-integrated algebra course can look like in practice - including thoughtful decisions about what content to prioritize and to streamline to make space.


        Whether you’re new to teaching statistics or looking to expand your current approach, this session will provide both the foundation and the tools to confidently implement data-rice instruction in your classroom.


        Leaders:  Kristin Johnson, St. Paul Schools HS Math Leader; Mark Kingsbury, Eden Prairie HS Math Teacher, Casey Rutherford, Centennial Schools Curriculum Leader & MDE Standards & Assessment Sara Van Der Werf.
