Daer Lawrence Families,

At the last Principal's Coffee on Tuesday, January 29th, Kathleen Hubbard, PSB Mathematics Coordinator for Grades K-8, the Lawrence math specialists/coaches and I are met with parents/caregivers to share the district/Lawrence vision for the teaching of mathematics at Lawrence School for all students in grades K-8.

“Our goal as a district and as a school is to build the capacity of all teachers of math (classroom teachers, Special Education teachers, and math teachers) to provide high quality, equity driven, differentiated instruction within their classrooms.  

Our vision is that all students, regardless of age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, race, gender, etc. will engage in rich learning experiences that provide equitable access for all, leading to a deep understanding of math concepts.”

They shared the type of mathematical experiences, opportunities, routines and assessments that are designed to encourage mathematical growth for all students.  I have included the link below for your review.  In case you were not able to attend.  I have shared the PowerPoint link below.

I would like to thank Kathleen Hubbard, Katy McGraw, Laura Koplow and Julieta Roz for planning and executing an informative and interactive presentation.

Sincerely,

Monica
