RCS Math Coaches

Finishing the year with our “Glows and Grows” as a K-12 math coach team! So proud of where we’ve been and where we are headed! #RCSpride @JGumzTeach @IamMrGittner @jschmidt0321

Awesome morning with 5th & 6th grade teachers across the entire district building cohesion of math concepts, models, and strategies! #RCSpride

Closing out Teacher Appreciation Week with another amazing collaboration between @LkOrionSchools and @rochcommschools! Thank you @deltakellyelem1 for hosting a wonderful and inspiring Bridges teacher lab! #Rcspride

Amazing day of collaboration with @LkOrionSchools to strengthen the implementation of Bridges in Mathematics. Thank you @LongMeadowRCS for hosting and sharing your mathematicians with all of us! @LOMathCoach #RCSpride

Kicking off Math Awareness Month reflecting on the commitment RCS educators have to growing their learning in order to deepen their students’ understanding! From hosting teacher labs to empowering student choice with Work Places, we’re so honored to teach with you! #RCSpride

Working with a 5th grader in math intervention and he noticed division and stated, "I can't do division." Looked at one example, I reworded "division" and he completed our assignment with perfection! His demeanor changed from defeated to confident! @Curriculum_RCS @HamlinHawks13

Thank you @jschmidt0321 and @VHMSVikings for hosting @deltakellyelem1 5th grade teachers! What an amazing experience learning about all the opportunities for our elementary mathematicians to succeed and continue growing in middle school! #RCSpride

Wrapped up the week with 2nd and 3rd grade teacher labs! Thank you Emily from North Hill and Bridget from McGregor for sharing your mathematicians with us! #RCSpride @Curriculum_RCS #teacherlab #Bridges

Thank you Vittoria from McGregor and Ryan from Brewster for hosting the 4th and 5th grade teacher labs! We enjoyed observing and learning with you! #RCSpride @Curriculum_RCS #JEPL

2nd gr. mathematicians worked together to estimate and count large collections with regrouping. They shared their strategies and critiqued the reasoning of others! Favorite kid quote, “That was mind blowing!” #RCSpride

Happy Halloween from Bridges “Number Tree” models! @MLCmath #RCSpride @IamMrGittner #octobercalendargrid

Supporting students in their math progressions using our Bridges Intervention and IReady. @Curriculum_RCS #mtsscosch

Algebra 1 students @AHSHighlanders explore domain and range through equations, tables, and graphs of functions. @Curriculum_RCS @RCSmath

@deltakellyelem1’s 1st, 2nd & 5th grade teachers are digging deeper into Bridges with @RCSmath today! The focus is on establishing routines and expectations to encourage student agency and choice, as well as differentiating to meet the needs of all learners. 💜❤️💚 #DKind

“Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for w/ardor & attended to with diligence.” Amazing week of learning w/teachers about differentiation, Hattie’s “barometer of influence,” & how to design professional learning opportunities with belonging in mind! #RCSpride

4th & 5th gr. teachers engaged in learning from their colleagues about various ways to elevate student thinking with Bridges in Mathematics during today’s PD. They explored Concept Quests, Unit Screeners, and ways to capture student thinking with vertical white boards. #RCSpride

Tri-County Culturally Responsive Mathematics Institute Leading to Liberate Fall Leadership Conference! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Thank you @MilnerHRich and @chrisemdin for your wisdom and inspiration! “Stay far from timid, only make moves if your ❤️’s in it, and live the phrase-sky’s the limit!”

4th grade mathematicians at @deltakellyelem1 are starting the year strong with problem strings to review using an open number line to represent multiplication problems. #RCSpride @Curriculum_RCS

Great start to the week with the RCS Paraeducator Professional Learning Event! Paras chose sessions to further their learning, including our “Making Sense of Math Using Manipulatives” session. #RCSpride @Curriculum_RCS

RCS Math Teachers explored visible thinking tasks,thin-slicing,discussion, collaboration & questioning techniques @OaklandSchools #BuildingThinkingClassrooms Prof. Learning led by @JenSmielewski,@SteveBodiya @sveit! #NPDL #deeplearning @RCSmath @rochcommschools @Curriculum_RCS
