Wednesday November 5, 2014
Attend the special opening keynote session featuring Phil Daro from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Room 25ABC of the Cleveland Convention Center
Phil Daro served on the writing team of the mathematics Common Core State
Standards. He continues to work on implementation and policy issues related to
the Common Core. He is the lead designer, mathematics, for the pad based
Common Core System of Courses being developed by the Pearson. He also works
in partnership of University of California, Stanford and others with the Oakland
and San Francisco Unified School Districts for the Strategic Education Research
Partnership (SERP), with a focus on mathematics and science learning.
Session 1: Keynote --Stepping Stones - Standards define a common end point for learning across students:
what students should learn by the end of the grade level. The CCSS-Mathematics often state, “Use understanding of…” or
“Apply and extend previous understandings…”. But students bring a great variety of prior knowledge, understanding and
skills to each lesson. How can we teach students with such varied starting points so they reach the common end point
from the standards? Where are the stepping stones? Research and an understanding of classroom practices from high
performing Asian countries show how the stepping stones are already there in the variety the students bring. This talk will
explain and illustrate how to find and use the stepping stones.

Come hear keynoters Dan Brahier and Gail Burrill
Daniel Brahier is a professor of mathematics education at Bowling Green State University
and also teaches junior high mathematics at St. Rose School in Perrysburg, Ohio. Throughout
his career, Brahier has taught science and mathematics at the high school and middle school
levels and has served as a school principal and district curriculum consultant. He is the author
of several books on mathematics education, including a methods textbook, Teaching
Secondary and Middle School Mathematics, and most recently served as a member of the
writing team for NCTM's new Principles to Actions. Session 39, 11:00 AM -11:50 AM in Room 25ABC
Principles, Actions, and the Common Core: Charting the Future
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics outlines the mathematical content to be learned at each
grade level but does not provide the details on "how to" accomplish these goals for all students. In their latest
landmark document Principles to Actions, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics describes the
essential components of a mathematics classroom and program that will maximize the chances for success with
the CCSSM. One of the three lead authors of the document will provide an overview of Principles to
Actions and highlight practical "to do list" items that teachers and administrators must consider to improve the
quality of mathematics programs in Ohio and beyond.
Gail Burrill is a former president of NCTM. She was a secondary teacher and department
chair in suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin for over 25 years and spent time as an associate
researcher at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. She served as President of the National
Council of Teacher of Mathematics and was Director of the Mathematical Sciences Education
Board at the National Research Council and is now on the faculty at Michigan State
University. As an instructor for Teachers Teaching with Technology, she does workshops
around the country on using technology in the classroom. Burrill received the Presidential
Award for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics and the Wisconsin Distinguished Educator Award and is the
author of numerous books and articles on statistics and mathematics education.
Session 81, 3:00 PM – 3:50 PM in Room 25ABC
Engaging Students in the CCSS: Challenging Tasks and Questions That Matter
The CCSS call for a shift in both content and how we engage students in that content. And research suggests
some instructional practices have the potential to make a difference in what students learn. What are some
strategies to make these happen in our classrooms and what is the role of dynamic interactive technology in
supporting those shifts?
Choose from over 90 different 50 minute or 80 minute sessions from 8:00-5:20 including
• General session topics: rural issues, Ohio’s Quality Review Rubric, financial literacy, “productive
struggle,” reasoning, technology, and more
• Grade band specific sessions covering a wide variety of topics including CCSSM content, mathematical
practices and reasoning, and technology or other “tools”
• ODE updates for grade bands K-5, 6-8, and 9-12
• Information about PARCC and preparing students for the upcoming assessments

Come hear keynoters Peg Smith and Linda Gojak
Margaret Smith works with pre-service middle and high school mathematics teachers at the
University of Pittsburgh, with doctoral students in mathematics education who are interested
in becoming teacher educators, and with practicing teachers and teacher leaders locally and
nationally. Over the past 20+ years she has been developing research-based materials for use
in the professional development of mathematics teachers and studying what teachers learn
from the professional development in which they engage. She has authored or coauthored
over 75 books, most recently, 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics
Discussion (coauthored with Mary Kay Stein), was published in April 2011.
Session 136, 11:00 AM-11:50AM in the Jr. Ballroom
Keynote - Using Evidence of Student Thinking to Guide Instructional Decision Making
Formative assessment – the process of eliciting and interpreting evidence about what students have learned and
then using this information to make instructional decisions -- is viewed by many as an essential aspect of
effective instruction. In fact, Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (NCTM, 2014)
identifies eliciting and using evidence of student thinking as one of eight non-negotiable teaching practices
critical for successful implementation of ambitious standards. .This session will focus on describing a method
for collecting information about students thinking during a lesson and discussing the ways in which the data can
be used to inform instruction in the current and subsequent lessons.
Linda M. Gojak, Immediate Past President of the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics has nearly 30 years of experience teaching mathematics at the elementary and
middle grade levels, and became the director of the Center for Mathematics and Science
Education, Teaching, and Technology at John Carroll University in 1999. She has also
served as president of the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, the Greater
Cleveland Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the Ohio Council of Teachers of
Mathematics. She has held leadership positions in numerous other organizations and has
made presentations about mathematics practices around the country.
Session 177, 3:00PM to 3:50PM in the Jr. Ballroom
Keynote - Got 5 Minutes? Building Students' Conceptual Understanding using Number Talks
The Number Talk protocol is an opportunity to develop student thinking and understanding in 5 to 10 minutes
a day. What does a number talk look like? What is the role of the teacher? What is the role of the student?
How do you plan a number talk? This session will answer all of these questions and more!
