CEMSE offers a variety of professional development services designed to help teachers and teacher-trainers implement and support Everyday Mathematics effectively. These include leadership development, classroom coaching, and workshop sessions and series designed for both new and experienced users.
Leadership Development
Increasing the capacity of local leaders (administrators, coaches, teacher-leaders, etc.) to support the implementation of Everyday Mathematics.
In-school coaching
Classroom visits and planning and debriefing sessions with individual teachers or with grade-level teams. In-school coaching focuses on areas of established needs and priorities in the school or district.
Workshops
The workshops listed below include both one-time sessions and ongoing series. Unless otherwise specified, many of the workshops have half-day or full-day options. We can work with you to customize sessions to your needs and available time.
-
Overview of Everyday Mathematics, Cross-Grade (1-6) or Grade-Specific (PK-6)
History and philosophy of the program; and overview of components, assessment, and differentiation. -
Kindergarten Everyday Mathematics
History and philosophy of the program; and overview of components, assessment, and differentiation. -
Pre-K Everyday Mathematics
History and philosophy of the program, overview of components, implementation guidelines, and information about young children and mathematics. -
Everyday Mathematics Unit-Specific Sessions, Grade-Specific
Previews of the content of every unit in Everyday Mathematics, including major content ideas, games, routines, and assessment. These are half-day grade-level sessions, specific to each unit.
Together, they comprise a series of school-year workshops for each grade level. -
Everyday Mathematics Content-Focused Sessions, Cross-Grade (PK-6)
In-depth explorations of specific content areas, such as geometry, measurement, fractions, algebra, or others. These are cross-grade sessions that focus on how concepts and skills in specific content
areas develop over multiple grades in Everyday Mathematics. -
Assessment and Differentiation in Everyday Mathematics, Cross-Grade (K-6)
Assessment and differentiation strategies in Everyday Mathematics. Participants engage in examining student work. -
Managing an Everyday Mathematics Lesson, Cross-Grade (K-6)
Lesson planning, using manipulatives and games, organizing students for instruction, pacing multi-part lessons, and other logistical issues. -
Ongoing Practice in Everyday Mathematics, Cross-Grade (K-6)
