SLOL

=media type="custom" key="12237324" = =SECONDARY LENSES ON LEARNING (SLOL) - Bertie High School=

Secondary Lenses on Learning is a series of seminars designed to:

 * 1) ===provide a school-based team with experiences, information, and resources to guide the team in key areas of school practice known to have an impact on secondary students' mathematical learning, and ===
 * 2) ===develop our capacity to work together, as a coherent mathematics leadership team, in order to strategically advance the work of the mathematics program at Bertie High School. ===

Although we were not able to attend the first session, we are committed to honoring our partnership with North Carolina New Schools Project as it relates to the remainder of SLOL sessions. Please understand that this committment will require outside reading and occasional meetings to meet the goals of advancing the math program at Bertie High School.

Readings are derived from the book //Secondary Lenses on Learning: Team Leadership for Mathematics in Middle and High School//. Two copies will be distributed today and the remaining copies will be issued at our session in Kenansville, NC.

 * ====**Lesson Observation and Reflection (To be completed before February 8, 2012). **====
 * Please read the articles by Usiskin and Fey before conducting your team walkthrough.
 * All team members will observe a math lesson that has an algebraic focus, with at least one other team member and for at least 20 minutes during the heart of the lesson. Take notes on using the focus questions (p.2) in the Student column of the Observation and Reflection Guide for Mathematical Content (p. 350)
 * Reflect on your observations with the team member who observed the same lesson and respond to the reflection questions (p. 351) **before our February 2, 2012 meeting**.
