Kansas Math Project Two Day Training - PreK-2nd Grade ONLY

Course description

This registration is for PreK - 2nd grade teachers, support personnel, and leaders only.

This Kansas Math Project (KMP) training will prepare participants with evidence-based teaching practices and deepen their understanding of math content. Participants will engage in foundation modules that begin with the belief that all students can learn mathematics. These modules will be followed by a coherent understanding of the progressions that lead to long-term proficiency. In addition, participants will gain an understanding of an  explicit and systematic approach to mathematics instruction. They will also utilize data analysis to drive instruction and intervention. Day 2 will provide a number of grade-band-specific modules that provide participants with resources to help students improve their understanding, language, fluency, and problem-solving skills. 

The project is a collaboration between the Kansas State Department of Education, Kansas MTSS & Alignment, Dr. Sarah Powell, and Dr. Bradley Witzel. In addition, hundreds of educators across Kansas providedfeedback and review throughout the developmental process. KMP is an exciting initiative and valuable professional learning opportunity for Kansas teachers.

A room block has been reserved at The Oread Hotel.  To book your room to receive the discounted rate, call toll free: 833-843-1200 and identify yourself as a member of Kansas MTSS and Alignment.  Cut off deadline is 8/27/23.

Learning Objectives

Day 1 - September 27th

• Determine elements of rigor in learning and set a curricular goal for P-12 mathematics education;
• Connect math constructs as a progression of learning rather than isolated standards;
• Share the CLEAR-DO of systematic instruction, shown to increase students’ outcomes in mathematics; and
• Use assessment to drive instruction and intervention decisions.

Day 2 - September 28th

• Focus on critical features of explicit instruction with the CLEAR model.
• Set up progression trajectory of what you teach and how to teach it.
• Connect math constructs as a progression of learning using attack strategies for problem solving
• Share the CLEAR-DO of systematic instruction, shown to increase students’ outcomes in mathematics
