CPAM Leadership Seminar
Practical Strategies for Providing School-based Leadership for More Powerful Teaching
of K-12 Mathematics
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
The afternoon prior to the NCTM Annual Meeting in San Diego was spent with your CPAM colleagues and Steve Leinwand, a nationally recognized leader and activist in the mathematics community. The afternoon’s agenda was a thought-provoking presentation involving participant discussion and reflection on Practical Strategies for Providing School-based Leadership for More Powerful Teaching of K-12 Mathematics. This was the sixth in the series of CPAM Leadership Seminars. Each year participants are challenged to make a more effective impact in mathematics education. The focus of this year’s seminar was providing practical strategies to improve the quality of instruction and the degree of professional collaboration that result in higher levels of student performance.

Steve Leinwand facilitated the 2006 CPAM Leadership Seminar with great success. Participants left that session rejuvenated and energized. Steve is a dynamic presenter ready to engage and confront seminar participants in serious discussion about their potential impact on mathematics education.

The fast-paced, example-laden presentation examined the critical need for our individual and collective leadership within each of our schools to reduce the professional isolation that impedes broad improvement of practice. We talked about, and challenged ourselves to implement a set of practical, easy-to-adapt strategies in the domains of curriculum, teaching, learning and equity that will help move us toward our vision of much higher levels of student performance.

CPAM Breakfast and Annual Meeting:
Sponsored by Key Curriculum Press

Key supported Saturday's CPAM Breakfast & Business Meeting and surprised everyone with a special gift for all CPAM members at the breakfast: a Geometer's Sketchpad Version 5 Single User License! Bravo to Karen Coe for asking recipients to help an early career teacher work with Sketchpad too. When Steve told me the program can be installed on up to three computers that the recipient uses, I asked if that could include a computer at home, a classroom computer and a computer in the school Math Lab. Steve replied that sounded fine as as long as the recipient uses all three computers.
