Connect 4 Project
This project involves working with 5 area school districts that have been classified as high needs in terms of math ability by the state. The funding for the project comes from the state. We have a math coach who visits these districts and works with teachers. She shares with them teaching methods that have been shown to improve skills. We have had a four day workshop in August, two follow up meetings, and 2 more are planned for the Spring. My role has been to oversee the program.
I was in charge of organizing the team that would oversee the project. This team included a superintendent, an assistant superintendent, 2 principals, and 2 teachers; all from different districts. I was in charge of hiring our math coach. Also, to make first contact with all 20 teachers involved. I organized and planned the four day workshop. I currently oversee the math coach. This includes: helping her to order manipulatives, attend meaningful workshops, make sure she stays in contact with the 20 teachers, and attend to daily problems that come up. This is a one year grant.
However, all participants want to continue in some way. We plan to allow area teachers to check out any book and manipulatives we accumulate this year, I will oversee this. I plan to organize workshops for teachers to attend. This has been a personally rewarding experience.
