Scope
2
Goals:Provide in-service to teachers across the district in order to:• To collaborate through cross grade level
conversations• To build a common “math” vocabulary • To gain a better understanding of the 8
mathematical practices• To build Coherence from one grade level to the
next.• To build a network of people who can spread the
message• To find new math strategies that work.
TASKS
3
• Planning and facilitating the “Achieve More with the Core” workshops: August, October, January, and May
• NTI-Network Team Institute: Albany, October 9-10 and December 9-12
• AMTNYS Conference in Syracuse, November 10

WHAT WAS THE IMPACT OF THE BUCKET WORK?
Impact
4
How did educators benefit from the work?• 8 Mathematical Practices are posted in classrooms in student friendly
language and given to students in bookmark form or cardstock to place in binders;
• Alignment of standards from one grade level to the next to clarify standards and eliminate gaps;
• Content continuum across grade levels;• Pamphlets were distributed with questioning techniques that are aligned
to the 8 mathematical practices;How were student outcomes impacted?• Increased awareness of the mathematical practices;• Students identify the 8 mathematical practices in lessons;• Questioning techniques learned at the NTI conference used to pinpoint
and correct student misconceptions in formative assessments;• Increased student engagement through more meaningful collaborative
group work.
Challenges and Triumphs
5
Challenges:• Full grade level representation at
workshops;• Need for more resources;• Common Language.
