I was recently in Idaho working with a group of program directors and teachers on the CCR Standards for Mathematics. The focus of our time together was on the key instructional advances that define the CCR Standards and on the Standards for Mathematical Practice that are so critical to building deeper understanding of mathematics in our adult learners. Since many states have now adopted the CCR standards and are in the process of implementing them, I have a couple of questions:
- Have the CCR standards improved your teaching practice and student learning? Hopefully so! If so, what changes have you noticed in how you are teaching mathematics and in how your students are learning mathematics?
- What are the biggest challenges you are having in implementing the CCR Standards for Mathematics?
I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
