K-8th grade parents & guardians K-8.
Tuesday March 22, 2016                           Browns River Middle School                      
6-7:30 pm

Do you ever think..."Hmm, why does my child's math look different than when I learned math?"

Come discover some of the research on how children learn and how this translates into the teaching in our classrooms!  We will provide examples, number talks, play math games, and show parents some of the fun exciting work we can do with children to strengthen their understanding of numeracy.

sponsored by MMMUSD's professional development                                             & instructional leadership team

CESU #12/MMMUSD  
2016-17 School Calendar

After surveying the community and faculty staff, and taking into consideration all of the feedback, the Chittenden East and Mt. Mansfield Modified School District approved the 2016-17 school calendar. The board considered a number of topics including timing and lengths of holiday vacations, teacher professional development and how to have the calendar best meet the needs of the community and follow the Vermont School Quality Standards.  We would like to thank all the parents, faculty and staff who provided feedback concerning our calendar. The survey information concerning the Wednesday delayed start professional development days showed that we can improve in our communication, but the majority of folks are in support of the delayed starts.

Thank you to all families supporting this important work.UCS teachers and staff will be engaged in...



The Work:
Teacher teams will analyze student progress in math.
 K-2 teachers analyze student application of skills for applying number theory, performing math operations and problem solving. 

3-4 teachers examine student progress for the application of multiplicative reasoning, and approach to problem solving. 

              The benefit of this work once a month has been significant to student progress.  Teachers have become proficient in using the OGA (Ongoing Assessment Project) Multiplicative Reasoning Framework and the PNOA ( Primary Number and Operations Assessment) Framework. UCS teachers know each student's specific progress, and further fine tunes instruction for individualized learning through Math Menu work. 



PreK Teachers and Para Educators:
- Practicing strategies to support executive brain function

Para Educators:
-  Increasing accessibility using Chromebooks-  A focus on tools for struggling readers and writers
