Voices from the Classroom: Shellee Wong & Jimmy Latavitz (Odessa High School)
In February, Odessa High School mathematics teachers Shellee Wong and Jimmy Latavitz engaged the members of the Leadership Coaching Lab (LCL) community in a segment
Fostering New Norms for Teaching and Learning in Secondary & Post-Secondary Mathematics Classrooms
Building a robust mathematics leadership community in which the role of curriculum specialists, coaches, and teacher leaders is public and itself the focus of study among colleagues
Fostering mathematically intense planning and reflection conversations and in turn, more ambitious mathematics teaching
Building a shared vision for powerful and productive mathematics discourse and deeper teacher reflection and growth
The Delaware Mathematics Coalition’s mission is to identify, endorse, and design high quality synergistic professional learning opportunities and experiences that support the actualization of research-based norms for teaching and learning mathematics.
As an organization, the Coalition advocates and supports at the state and district levels for the implementation of these practices in every classroom so that all students gain the mathematics proficiency necessary to graduate having successfully completed a rigorous, meaningful twenty-first century education that prepares them for careers, college, and citizenship.
The promise of Leadership Coaching Lab is to build a robust mathematics community in which the role of coaches, specialists, and teacher leaders is public and itself the focus of study among colleagues. We will emphasize our role in engaging colleagues in planning for instruction, leading mathematically intense conversations, and using video to develop a keen eye for the essence of the math in lessons.
Led by experienced mathematics professional developers and teachers with expertise in problem-based learning, the New Normal professional learning academy supports the evolving content and pedagogical needs of the problem-based enthusiasts in secondary and post-secondary schools.
