Collaborate with colleagues to explore resources and learning around best practices in the process of adopting mathematics instructional materials.

Our goal is to create a cadre of mathematics leaders who can be recommended to districts embarking on instructional materials adoption (IMA). Ensuring IMA is grounded in best practices is critical to selecting well-aligned and high-quality mathematics instructional materials that support success for ALL students. District math leaders may wish to attend to support their own IMA.

Details

Benefits

• IMA leaders will be included on a list of recommended leaders who districts can reach out to when seeking support with their instructional materials adoption process.

• IMA leaders from districts will have the knowledge and resources to support best practices in their instructional materials adoption process.

• IMA leaders from smaller districts can connect and potentially collaborate with one another in their instructional materials adoption which could result in a cost savings for districts.

Professional Learning Outcomes

• understand best practices supporting the process of adoption of instructional materials

• leverage the resources and tools within the Instructional Materials Toolkit to support the facilitation of the instructional materials adoption process

• develop knowledge and skills in the use of the IMET and Equip rubric to support districts in vetting instructional materials for alignment to the WA State Mathematics Learning Standards (CCSS)

• collaborate with district leadership in creating an instructional materials adoption plan that supports best practices and the needs of the district

• provide feedback and input on the continued refining of the Instructional Materials Toolkit
