SUMMARY:Mathematics Cohort
DESCRIPTION:This virtual professional learning community brings together K-8 school leaders and teachers across Ohio to strengthen mathematics instruction and improve student outcomes. Meeting quarterly (9/23\, 11/18\, 1/13\, 3/10)\, each session explores research-based instructional strategies\, unpacks legislative updates\, and examines problems of practice focused on leading and implementing effective math instruction. A central goal of the cohort is to reframe deficit-based narratives about mathematics by cultivating bold\, asset-based mindsets among educators\, students\, and communities. Participants will be invited to apply new strategies\, reflect on implementation\, and refine practices\, bridging leadership and instruction to foster equity and high expectations. This collaborative space supports educators in creating sustainable systems for strong mathematics teaching and learning that benefit all students.

SUMMARY:Purposeful Questioning in Mathematics: Promoting Reasoning\, Not Recall
DESCRIPTION:Every question in math class signals what we value-speed or thinking\, recall or reasoning. This session helps educators craft and adjust questions that uncover student thinking and deepen mathematical understanding. Participants will use student work and video cases to examine patterns in their questioning\, plan for purposeful prompts\, and reflect on how questions can support access and rigor. Leaders will consider how to support this shift during observations and feedback.

SUMMARY:Teach Like a Champion
DESCRIPTION:This is the first collaborative session for the book study on Teach Like A Champion’s Guide to the Science of Reading. Anyone can attend any session! Attendees who register and attend at least three sessions will receive a copy of the book. In this initial meeting\, we will introduce the book’s core arguments and dive straight into Principle 1: Attending to Attention. Research shows that sustained attention is a prerequisite for all learning. We will examine the cognitive science behind attention and memory\, sharing practical\, immediate strategies for improving student focus\, managing digital distractions\, and designing classroom environments that naturally enhance the mental stamina required for complex academic work.

SUMMARY:Discussion Routines that Spark Deep Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Good discussions offer teachers a window into students’ thinking\, but great discussions empower students to drive their learning. Move beyond “turn and talk” to craft discourse routines that are purposeful\, structured\, and anchored in high expectations. Participants will experience student-generated questioning techniques that deepen comprehension and ignite curiosity\, then learn discussion structures that help every student 1/4 even the shy ones! 1/4 contribute meaningful ideas. These ready-to-use facilitation moves add cognitive depth to classroom talk in any content area.

SUMMARY:Hope Hub: Formative Checks That Make Thinking Visible
DESCRIPTION:High-quality formative data can do more than tell us who “got it” and who didn’t! In this asynchronous session\, educators will learn practical approaches to collecting and analyzing evidence of student reasoning to inform responsive instruction. Participants will explore approaches to classifying and grading student responses\, practice interpreting misconceptions and partial understandings; and design quick but powerful checks that illuminate thinking\, not just recall. By the end of the 6-week course window\, participants will demonstrate their learning by submitting a short mini-project that they can put into practice immediately. Participants will receive access to materials on February 23 and submit their mini-projects on or before April 6.

SUMMARY:Social Studies Cohort
DESCRIPTION:How can we design assessments that truly reflect the critical thinking and historical analysis we want students to master? This session shifts the focus from traditional testing to authentic and performance-based assessment methods. We will dive into tools and frameworks for designing powerful Project-Based Learning (PBL) experiences and empowering students to demonstrate their learning in creative\, rigorous ways. We’ll discuss how to leverage student work to provide meaningful feedback and drive deeper conceptual understanding. Bring your ideas\, and let’s make your next unit’s assessment the most engaging one yet! Our networked improvement community will be ready to tackle any implementation questions.

SUMMARY:Write with Confidence: Mastering OST Writing in Grades 3-5
DESCRIPTION:Preparing young writers for the Ohio State Tests requires clarity\, structure\, and a solid understanding of what high-quality responses look like. This session provides a deep dive into the OST expectations for grades 3-5\, including how the rubrics break down organization\, development\, conventions\, and the use of textual evidence. Participants will examine sample student responses\, identify common strengths and misconceptions\, and explore kid-friendly language that helps younger learners internalize key writing skills. We’ll look at effective mini-lessons\, graphic organizers\, modeling techniques\, and strategies for helping students elaborate with clarity and purpose. Teachers will leave with ready-to-use resources\, scaffolded writing supports\, and confidence in how to guide students through both opinion and informational writing tasks.
