Support for TEKS Implementation

Professional Development modules are being created to assist teachers in the implementation of the refined math TEKS.

Teaching the Math TEKS thru Technology (TMT3) Math TEKS Refinement (MTR) Math TEKS Connections (MTC) Mathematics for English Language Learners (MELL) Maximizing Algebra II Performance (MAP) Geometry

Teaching Math TEKS Through Technology (TMT3)

Developed by: Texas A&M Commerce and Education Service Center Region 4

Centered on effective technology, aligned to the TEKS, that will facilitate teaching mathematics.

Middle School, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry modules.

Teacher lessons, student lessons, and tutorials.

Includes Integration of the middle school Technology Application TEKS.

Ask your ESC or district math specialist for training dates.

Ask your Education Service Center for training dates.

Math TEKS Refinement (MTR) Modules

Developed by: A team of mathematics faculty at Tarleton State University and classroom teachers.

This project is focused on the changes to the TEKS and provides teacher and student lessons to implement the changes.

Math TEKS Connections Modules (MTC)

MTC is a framework for thinking about connections in order to help teachers understand and achieve the depth and complexity of the TEKS so that all students are successful in mathematics.

MTC being developed in partnership with TEA, Texas A&M University, and Education Service Centers, Region 4 and 13.

MTC Project Development Modules

K-2: TAMU & Region 133-5: TAMU & Region 46-8: TAMU & Region 49-12: TAMU & Region 4Administrator modules: TAMU & Region 4

3 hour session will target the administrator’s knowledge of math concepts connections, an effective coaching model, questioning strategies, and the 5E model.

Can plan accordingly

Mathematics for English Language Learners (MELL)

The Texas State University System Mathematics for English Language Learners (TSUS MELL) project is a [multiyear] effort developing instructional resources designed to increase the effectiveness of mathematics instruction for ELL students in K-12 schools.

The project is a partnership between the Texas State University System, its component universities and the Texas Education Agency.

Geometry Math TEKS Connections Geometry MTC Module

Collaborative project between TAMU and Region 7.

Geometry MTC will encourage the development of a classroom environment that deepens the understanding of geometry by eliminating the practice of teaching geometry as a series of isolated topics while integrating an algebraic functional approach.

How can an application based, hands-on approach to teaching geometry lead to higher-level student thinking?

Tentative TOT dates: June 2007

Maximizing Algebra II Performance (MAP) Professional Development Modules

Collaborative project between TAMU and Region IV

Incorporates hands-on, engaging experiences for all learners through a functions-based approach to Algebra II.

This project will be an extension of concepts covered in the MTC project and will address different function families than those covered in MTC. TOT dates TBD

Elementary Math TAKS Survey

Announcement letter sent to districts May 19, 2006; located at http://www.tea.state.us.us/student.assessment/resources/letters/

Purpose of the survey is to gather input as to which student expectations from the 2005 refined TEKS should be assessed on TAKS

Requesting each campus to review and discuss the refined TEKS and make a recommendation

Submit campus consensus online between August 1 and September 30, 2006
