Our mission is to improve student achievement and the teaching and learning of secondary mathematics by building a statewide learning community of mathematics educators, mathematicians, and public school leaders.

 Upcoming MC² Events 

• Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics Conferences and Workshops

• CCSS Regional Workshops (PDF Information)    
  
  Day 1 - Getting Grounded in the Common Core
  Please check this website periodically for future dates.

DAY 2 - Building a Foundation for Implementing Common Core State Standards for Mathematics: Connecting Mathematical Practice and Math Content – Digging into the Structure of the Content Standards and Connecting Content to Math Practices

This session is a deeper look into the structure of the CCSSM, and is appropriate for participants who have either
1) been through Day 1, or 2) already have knowledge of the organization and vocabulary of the Standards and Math Practices. Major themes of this session are:

• Understanding Focus: What are the Instructional Shifts in the CCSSM at each grade level?
• Digging Deeper into the Mathematical Practices
• Connecting the Mathematical Practices to K-12 Content

. DAY 2 Locations and Dates:

• April 13: Ruidoso 8:30-4pm)
• April 23: Las Cruces (8:30-4pm)
• April 24: Carlsbad (8:30-4pm)

• MC² 2012 Summer Common Core Mathematics Academies for MC² Partner District Implementation Teams - NEW   
   
  Academy Audience: MC² Partner Districts with implementation teams of 2-9 people ( teacher leaders, coaches, math specialists, principals), 1 per school or district (for small districts)
  
  Topics to be explored:

• Understanding Common Core State Standards for Math (CCSSM)
  • Consider how the expectations of CCSSM differ from New Mexico Standards and Benchmarks
  • Understand how to read and make sense of the CCSSM
  • Experience the Coherence, Focus and Rigor of the CCSSM.
  • Gain knowledge of the CCSS Mathematical Practices and how they affect teaching, learning, and testing.
  • Become familiar with the specific Standards for each grade level and the connections in Algebraic Standards across K-12.
  • Understand how the Standards and Mathematical Practices are interdependent and support student learning.
    
    
• Understanding how to support other teachers and administrators
  • Develop strategies and plans to support other teachers/administrators in your district/school in the implementation of CCSSM.
  • Have access to a support system including protocols, resources, learning modules, follow-up workshops, and personal support for designing and implementing summer academy content in your school district.
