Curriculum Focal Points: Focusing in on Instruction
The proposed project, Curriculum Focal Points: Focusing in on Instruction, is designed to assist intermediate teachers with teaching the Next Generation Sunshine State Florida Standards using the NCTM's Focal Points. As the math lead at my school, I am responsible for modeling best practices and I must be knowledgeable of the content that the teachers must teach. This project allows me to increase my mathematics content knowledge while strengthening the mathematical understandings and instructional practices of my colleagues.
