Welcome to a new school year! We would like to welcome you to the first meeting of the K-5 Illustrative Mathematics Consortium. Please save the date for our first virtual meeting to be held Monday, November 22nd from 3:45 - 4:45.

One of the goals of this Consortium is to help educators navigate the glows and woes with implementation of the Illustrative Math K-5 resource in order to maximize its potential for student learning across the state.  We are looking forward to the collaborative work of our collective members this year as we navigate the ongoing residual challenges from Covid 19 and the first year of implementation of IM. As a Consortium, we have been meeting and collaborating with educators of grades 6-8 since 2017, the first year of implementation for 6-8 Illustrative Mathematics. As this is the first year of the K-5 IM resource, we are excited to include the elementary community.

The challenges this year are greater than ever with many questions around unfinished learning and meeting the needs of our learners while ensuring we focus on grade level content. Our first meeting will be an opportunity for Illustrative Math K-5 users across the state to begin the conversation for collaborating and sharing best practices for the 2021-2022 school year.  This initial session is open to grades K-5 coaches and district leaders who are implementing the Illustrative Math resource.  

During this meeting, educators will reflect upon the implementation of the Illustrative Math resource this fall, continue to learn about available Illustrative Math resources, as well as collaborate in looking ahead at implementing Illustrative Math throughout the rest of the school year.  If you are using Illustrative Math in grades K-5 and can contribute to or benefit from collaborative work around implementation, we hope that you can join us!  

If you plan on attending this meeting, please answer the questions below by Wednesday, November 17th.  A meeting invitation with the google link will be sent to your email following your RSVP.
