Math Pathways
OUR 6-8 Math: Deeper Dive
Participants will collaborate with colleagues and facilitators to share and gather strategies used to address common challenges (ie. pacing, student discourse, using assessments to measure and monitor learning, grading…), explore the development of number sense through the building of conceptual understanding and fluency, refine the problem-solving approach within OUR lessons, and strengthen MLR techniques to increase access for ALL students.
*AM + PM SESSIONS
OUR 6-8 Math: Community Pathway: Growing Together
Participants will engage in sessions that strategically grow practice by problem solving, working through implementation challenges, and walking through identified problems of practice. Master teachers provide a safe space for growth, fellowship, and collaborative professional learning. Teachers will leave with ready to implement strategies and resources to use in their own classroom.
*AM + PM SESSIONS
OUR Math 6-12: Administrators
Administrators will engage in professional learning grounded in OUR Mathematics principles, structures, and instructional routines. Participants gain experiences with an OUR lesson by reviewing classroom videos. Leaders then collaborate to develop support protocols for conscientious implementation of Math Language Routines, Math Talks, and other practices rooted in research found in OUR curricula.
*AM SESSION
OUR Math 6-12: Coaches
Coaches will engage in professional learning grounded in supporting individual teachers and,or teams with efficacious implementation of OUR curricula. Learning will be grounded in exploring capacity building protocols grounded in OUR principles and instructional routines. Coaches will review instructional videos and collaborate with peers to develop a growth plan for teachers.
*PM SESSION
OUR Grade 6 Math: Diving in
Participants will explore OUR 6-8 Math Curriculum materials in order to build a deeper understanding of problem-based learning, identify resources that can be used to communicate with families, understand the progression of learning for a course, a unit, and a lesson, and identify how to use OUR instructional routines to increase discourse and access for ALL students. During the sessions, various platforms for accessing the curriculum will be explored, including the OUR site and Kiddom.

OUR HS Math: Diving In
Sessions will focus on teaching with the Comprehensive Mathematics Instruction (CMI) Framework along with using the Effective Teaching Practices, Standards for Math Practice, and the Five Practices for facilitating discourse to revolutionize mathematics teaching and learning. Teachers will learn to use the Learning Cycle-based lesson design to help students develop procedural fluency with conceptual understanding by doing a deep-dive of Module One. This workshop will provide teachers with the sequence of modules and topics and demonstrate how these materials capture the vision of the Core Standards for High School Mathematics.
*AM + PM SESSIONS
OUR HS Math: Deeper Dive
Sessions encourage teachers to take next steps in adjusting and improving their instruction by experiencing the curriculum in-depth. The facilitators will model how to implement the tasks focusing on the Learning Cycle and eliciting student thinking to achieve learning goals using videos from the field, student work, and modeling. Teachers will have the opportunity to dig into the big ideas of the Learning Cycle in 1-2 modules by experiencing each task and understanding the progression of learning for students.

ELA Pathways
EL K-8: Leadership
This service provides a model and support for leadership learning walks designed for administrators and teacher leaders. A consultant provides instructional leaders with an overview of Open Up Resources EL Education K-5 Language Arts along with an observation protocol that focuses on critical features of program content and delivery. The consultant leads focused discussions with instructional leaders based on an analysis of visits to selected classrooms to monitor program implementation. The consultant supports site leadership to have the knowledge, tools and confidence to lead sustained literacy improvement efforts.
*AM SESSION
EL K-8: Deeper Dive
These sessions provide teachers with the rationale, research and procedures for evidence-based practices that support strengthening ELA. Participants will build and enhance their knowledge of evidence-based practices found in OUR curricula and will do a “deep dive” into their grade level resources and lessons.
*PM Session
EL K-8: Community
Educators experienced with implementing the Open Up Resources K–(5 or 8) EL Education for 2+ years are the perfect fit for the Community Pathway at HIVE! This pathway asks teachers to dive deeper into the curriculum’s content, reflect on successes and challenges in facilitation, and learn ways to better their practice for the upcoming school year. Teachers and leaders will collaborate with the Community Coaches to create resources to use in the classroom with their learners. Best practices and grade-level work, including protocols, learning targets and assessments, Language Dives, fluency, and writing, will be dissected and investigated, as well!
*AM SESSION
EL K-2: Diving in
Participants will engage with OUR materials to build a solid overview of the EL Education curriculum. Throughout the series, educators will dig into essential components to understand the rationale, structure, and resources that are available to support them with curriculum implementation. Educators will engage in planning processes with templates in order to build their understanding of how the curriculum supports literacy skills over time. Throughout the session, participants will be able to see how to access the curriculum materials through Kiddom, a platform that supports educators in planning and collecting data with Open Up materials.
