MCOE outlines multi-year approach to implementing California's new math framework
Summary
Dr. Nicole Laddell told the board that the state's new math framework was fully released last year and that state curriculum approval and local training will likely take another six months to a year; the county will run workshops and have instructional coaches assist district adoptions.
Dr. Nicole Laddell, director of educational services for the Mendocino County Office of Education, updated the board on implementing California's new math framework during the Dec. 16 meeting. "The math framework is relatively new. It was just fully released last year," she said, and noted the state review process for approved curriculum could extend into next January.
Laddell described a phased, multi-year approach: the county will hold deeper-dive workshops, provide instructional coaching support to districts that begin adopting new curriculum and coordinate local trainings on the framework's "shift in mindset" similar to the rollout of the Next Generation Science Standards. Board members pressed for teacher training and supports for students who may be accelerated into higher-level courses; Laddell said the county is planning series-based workshops and coach-led assistance for district adoptions.
The presentation noted that some districts—Anderson Valley and others—have already begun local adoptions and that staff will continue to support districts and charters through the transition. The superintendent and board asked staff to follow up with specific training plans and timelines for teacher supports as curriculum approvals proceed at the state level.
