 * TITLE OF PRESENTATION:**


 * **YOUR NAME:** Jennifer Brown || **DATE:** 10/21/09 ||
 * **SCHOOL:**Heskett || **GRADE/DEPARTMENT**:7-8/Math ||
 * **LOCATION:**Administration Building || **SPONSOR:**Bedford City Schools ||


 * PRESENTER:** Felice Willis and Lea Travis


 * Please provide the key points from the presentation or workshop.**

We discussed the OIP process, discussed the progress and implementation of common assessments and moving math into the 21st century.

The things we discuss are district initiatives that have to be implemented in all math classrooms. We discussed how the implementation process was going and looked ahead at what to expect in the future. The things we discuss drive our classroom instruction.
 * How do you see this material/strategy being integrated into your classroom instruction?**

As for the 21st century skills - I think that we agreed we thought it would be an easy fit, it is just a matter of making ourselves think that way.

I think that until we have Ohio Achievement Test scores that prove that these directives are effective, we will continue to hear concern from the teachers not directly involved in the process.
 * What questions do you still have or barriers do you see relative to the implementation of this strategy?**

Since we discussed the entire topic...all of them!
 * To which 21st Century Skill(s) does this strategy most apply?**

The math summit website and the link of this WIKI to "21st century skills"**.
 * Are there other resources (links, titles, etc) to which we can go for information about this strategy/workshop?**

Would you recommend this workshop to others?** Of course - I believe math summit is a HUGE part to why we are getting math standards now!
