Have you attended one of the original 3-day Mathematics Achievement Academies for kindergarten-grade 1, grade 2, or grade 3?
Are you ready to go deeper in your learning?
If you answered yes to both of these questions we have two options for no-cost professional development during the summer of 2022.
Mathematics Achievement Academy:
Problem Solving and Discourse
Virtual Workshop Series for Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3
Connect problem solving experiences and discourse strategies to deepen the content experienced in the original Mathematics Achievement Academy, Kindergarten–Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3. Explore and apply the problem-solving model found in the TEKS as a tool to help students make sense of mathematics and to help the mathematics make sense to students. Explore and apply mathematical language routines to equip students to communicate their mathematical understanding with clarity. Experiences include virtual synchronous sessions, time to plan for job-embedded practice, and an online community.
Prerequisite Required: Completion of Mathematics Achievement Academy: Kindergarten-Grade 1, Grade 2, OR Grade 3 is a required prerequisite for this session. Prior completion of the Mathematics Achievement Academy will be verified prior to the start of the session. Participants who have not completed the prerequisite will be removed from the session to allow for those who are eligible to attend.
Important Information:
Teachers who successfully complete a Mathematics Achievement Academy: Problem Solving and Discourse session may be eligible to receive the $100 stipend. Stipends will not be provided to teachers who do not meet eligibility and attendance requirements. Successful completion includes the following components.
We appreciate your efforts to help us ensure that only kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3 teachers who have completed the original academy register for the problem solving and discourse academies. Teachers employed at campuses at which 40% or more of the students enrolled are educationally disadvantaged (eligible to participate in the national free or reduced-price lunch program) receive priority in registering to attend the academies. Administrators and instructional coaches from eligible campuses may attend if they meet the eligibility requirements though they are not eligible for stipends. If a session reaches capacity, administrators and instructional coaches will be removed from the session so that classroom teachers may attend.

Mathematics Achievement Academy:
Formative Assessment and Applying Content across the Strands
Face-to-Face Workshop Series for Kindergarten–Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3
Connect formative assessment and content from the strands of measurement and data to deepen the content experienced in the original Mathematics Achievement Academy. Explore six components of formative assessment and related implementation considerations. Connect whole number operations and fraction concepts explored in the original academy to hands-on activities focusing on measurement and data. Continue exploring how to support diverse learners through grade-level mathematics, problem solving experiences, and discourse strategies. Through hands-on activities, these academies are designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge of mathematics’ concepts and processes, improve overall mathematics instruction, and lead to student success on statewide assessments and post-secondary readiness.
Prerequisite Required: Completion of Mathematics Achievement Academy: Kindergarten-Grade 1, Grade 2, OR Grade 3 is a required prerequisite for this session. Prior completion of the Mathematics Achievement Academy will be verified prior to the start of the session. Participants who have not completed the prerequisite will be removed from the session to allow for those who are eligible to attend.
