Essential Questions
Essential Questions lie at the heart of a subject or concept and promotes inquiry and uncoverage of a subject or concept. They contain no simple
“right” answer, provoke and sustain inquiry, address conceptual or philosophical foundations, raise other important questions, and stimulate
vital, ongoing rethinking.
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes are statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and/or be able to demonstrate after completion of a
process of learning. Learning Outcomes are measureable, include very specific and active language – and verbs in particular – that make
expectations clear.

Enduring Understanding:
Enduring understandings are statements summarizing important ideas and core processes that are central to a discipline and have lasting value beyond the
learning event. They synthesize what learners should understand—not just know or do—as a result of engaging in a particular learning event.

Enduring Understanding:
DoDEA will thoughtfully provide macro and micro professional learning when implementing DoDEA’s College and Career Ready Standards. We
will work to have the professional learning deepen content knowledge and pedagogy, occur at school as often as possible, occur over a sustained
period of time, occur in collaborative teams in which members share learning goals, link teacher learning to teacher practice and student
learning, provide support to transfer learning to practice, and measure success through student achievement results for students.
Essential Question(s):
1. How do we build the capacity of Area, district and Instructional Leaders to operationalize the use (instruction and measurement) of the
DoDEA CCR Standards for Mathematics?
2. What non-negotiable "must have information" should we include, specific information, for all Pre-K - grade 5 teachers during a full day
introduction to DoDEA CCR Standards?
3. What training content should be linked between the orientation day at the end of the school year, and the two days early return at the
start of the ensuing school year?
4. What do you think teachers must learn in three days (orientation + 2 days early return) to be using the DoDEA CCR Standards for
Mathematics during instruction on day 1 school year 2015-2016?
5. On-going job embedded training will continue alongside the use of the DoDEA CCR standards for mathematics during SY 15-16. What do
you anticipate will be needed to motivate, sustain and develop instructional practice with our teachers during this freshman year
experience (4 sessions)?
6. What strategies, inspirations, models, gaps, can HQ provide/create to systematize regular intervals of teacher learning (weekly/bi-
weekly) throughout the SY 15-16 to increase collaborative learning and shared understanding of the DoDEA CCR standards? Horizontal
& vertical by grade levels?

Outcomes:
By the end of the session, participants will have…
Debriefed Slicing the Layers of Learning in order to process the differences between “traditional and reform-oriented professional
development.”
Heard, and be able to articulate the key features of, the proposed Professional Learning Plan for the DoDEA CCR Standards for
Mathematics over 16 months (February 2015 – June 1016).
Provided support for at least one component, or offer a creative solution, for the proposed Professional Learning Plan for the DoDEA
CCR Standards for Mathematics over 16 months (February 2015 – June 1016).
Recommended and shared considerations, thoughts, and modifications to the components of the initial DoDEA CCR Standards for
Mathematics Professional Learning Plan.
