What is the Project AIM PD Program?<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Project AIM is a year-long professional development program for early elementary grades teachers provided in a hybrid delivery through synchronous and asynchronous activities through a digital learning management system. A main feature of the program is identifying techniques used to support discourse in literacy instruction and adapting them so they make sense for mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through three main modes of engagement–teachers as learners, see in action, and rehearse as teachers–participants in Project AIM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-advance their own mathematical understandings of the content and pedagogy needed to improve the quality of discourse in their mathematics classrooms
-learn how to adapt literacy techniques to promote discourse in their mathematics instruction
-analyze classroom practice and student mathematical thinking
-learn how to scaffold and support all learners’ (including emergent multilingual learners) engagement with the mathematics and discourse in their classrooms
-embed discourse techniques into their mathematics lesson planning
-reflect individually and collaboratively on their instructional experiences and the nature of student mathematical discussions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who participates in the Project AIM PD Program?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Project AIM is set up to be offered in your district! Our Facilitator Course prepares your math leaders to work with your teachers to transform math discourse in their classrooms.
– Teachers learn to promote high quality math discourse in their classroom using ready-to-implement techniques.
– The program includes synchronous and asynchronous meetings delivered through our learning management system. It is all ready to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do the Project AIM PD sessions occur?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

-The Project AIM PD sessions occur on online and on site within teachers’ and facilitators’ own school system.
-The Project AIM PD materials are housed and facilitated via a learning management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do the Project AIM PD session meetings occur?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Project AIM is a 12-session PD program conducted over the course of an academic school year:
-6 synchronous session meetings during a summer institute
-7 synchronous session meetings during the school year (approximately once a month)
-in addition to asynchronous PD tasks to be completed between the session meetings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the Project PD Program important?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teachers:
-revisit and further their understanding of instructional techniques that promote and engage all learners in meaningful discourse
-encourage students to play an active role in communicating and co-constructing their mathematical understandings
-reflect on current practice based on successes and challenges they’ve experienced during implementation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A program designed to help teachers recognize, analyze, and aspire to implement high quality discourse in the mathematics classroom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
