MATH512
This research-based course draws upon data from NBPTS’ performance assessment of mathematics teachers. Examine how your practice impacts student learning through the lens of professional teaching standards. Identify learning goals for your lessons, determine how different types of goals connect, and define how students will show evidence of achievement of those goals. In this course, you'll look at what kinds of learning goals you have for a lesson, how those different types of goals connect with each other, and how you will show evidence of student achievement of those goals. Note: Course 1 is a helpful, but not required precursor for Course 2: Guiding Student Learning (available soon). This course is facilitated by National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) in mathematics.

Integrating Technology Into The Middle School Mathematics Curriculum - 30hr
AKMATH360
The teaching of Math has evolved with an emphasis on problem solving throughout the curriculum. Through solving real-world dilemmas students are engaged in not only applying Math facts, skills and concepts, but in generating unique solutions for practical problems. While manipulatives have been the focus of this kind of hands-on learning, technology offers new and exciting ways to bring Math alive for students. Technology and Math are a dynamic combination, and through this course you will explore the strategies, resources and possibilities for middle school teachers to integrate them across the curriculum.

Differentiating Math Lessons for a Range of Learners - 30hr
MATH330
To meet the needs of a range of learners in the mathematics classroom, teachers are called upon to differentiate instruction. The need for differentiation is stronger than ever as districts strive to implement the Common Core State Standards with rigor and equity to promote the success of all students. Providing instruction that is differentiated and targeted to students’ strengths and needs is a powerful practice for improving math learning. This course stands out from more general offerings on differentiating instruction because it provides specific suggestions for teaching standards-based mathematics. Teachers will learn powerful approaches and models for planning and implementing differentiated math lessons that are tailored to their students’ diverse needs. They will take away strategies, planning tools and resources for applying the ideas in their classroom practice.
Note: This is a facilitated course. Learners submit coursework and participate in asynchronous discussions throughout the course term, and receive graded feedback.
