Are you working on consistent gains across all classrooms?
Let's fix it.
Talk with Linda Cordes, best-selling author and math achievement advisor to districts who want high impact math instruction in all classrooms.
Are your math classes RED Hot?
Rigorous
You should see:
Productive struggle
Open-ended problems
Focused vs funneling questioning
CRA (multiple representations)
Not:
All direct instruction and gradual release
Engaging
You should see:
Math discourse
Manipulatives and visuals
Students explaining
Teachers asking, not telling
Productive "noise."
Not:
Compliant students copying the teacher
Differentiated
You should see:
Different paths/same
outcome
Varied modalities/interestĀ
Varied assignments
Varied materials
Not:
One-size fits all and the teacher will "help" the "strugglers" do the same assignment.Ā
