Balanced Assessment in Mathematics
This workshop series is designed for leaders who support the professional development of mathematics teachers grades 3-9. It is built around high-quality performance tasks developed by BA-MARS, samples of students’ written work on the tasks, video cases of the use of performance tasks for assessment and instruction, and scoring schemes as feedback to students on their performance on these kinds of tasks.

Learning Communities and Standards-Based Units
Learning communities will be formed to write standards-based units of study that embed concepts and strategies utilized by the Middle School Math Academies during the years 2000-2002. Teachers will network using peer coaching and mentoring. Units written will embed technology, differentiated instructional strategies, and will reflect Kentucky content standards. Rubrics will be developed using the Performance Standards.
