The CTLM has partnered with the Waterloo Community Schools to provide instructional coaching in both Cunningham and Irving Elementary Schools for through the 2013-2014 academic school year. With a focus on changing teachers’ beliefs and classroom practices, University faculty will collaborate with Building Interventionist and District Math Coaches, to provide intensive modeling, coaching, and professional development to the elementary teachers. The instructional focus will be on successful implementation of the newly adopted TERC Investigations series. Success criteria for the project include an increase in teacher content knowledge of mathematics, improvement in teachers’ implementation of instructional strategies aligned with the adopted district mathematics curriculum, and an increase in mathematics achievement by the elementary students.
