Implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

Greensboro-High Point Marriott Airport

9:30 AM to 3:15 PM

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Cathy Seeley

Dr. Cathy Seeley has four decades of diverse experience in K-12 education. She has been a middle school and high school mathematics teacher, K-12 district coordinator and K-12 State Director of Mathematics for Texas. Motivated by a deep commitment to equity for all students, she has been an active participant in and spokesperson for the improvement of mathematics education throughout her career. From 1999 to 2001 she taught mathematics (in French) as a Peace Corps volunteer in Burkina Faso, and she served as President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics from 2004-2006. Dr. Seeley is the author of Faster Isn’t Smarter—Messages About Math, Teaching, and Learning in the 21st Century. Cathy Seeley is currently a senior fellow at the Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas, working on state and national policy and improvement in mathematics education.

Dr. Seeley’s keynote address will focus on content in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) as well as assessment as it relates to the CCSSM. Those who attend will have a clearer understanding of how the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics will affect their teaching, their assessments, and their students.

There will be four afternoon break-out sessions (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12), each led by a team of discussion leaders. Each team will include a DPI staff member, a higher education faculty member, and an LEA representative.
