NCCTM proudly recognizes Dawne Coker as the 2022 NCCTM Innovator for the establishment and continued commitment to developing mathematics resources for elementary teachers, students, and families. Dawne has made outstanding and noteworthy contributions to mathematics education and served the state of North Carolina for over ten years. Elementary teachers in North Carolina are fortunate to have a tremendous amount of high-quality mathematics resources to support classroom instruction and assessment. Many of these resources were developed or revised by Dawne Coker. Dawne has partnered with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction on many occasions to create and improve resources for elementary mathematics. Dawne served on the standard revision team for kindergarten through second grade prior to the adoption of the 2018 Standard Course of Study. She co-authored, reviewed, and provided feedback for the K-5 Mathematics Unpacking Documents. She was part of a writing group that created sets of Formative and Instructional Assessment Tasks (that are now a part of the Tools4NCTeachers website). She also consistently provides feedback on the K-2 formative and end-of-year assessments. Dawne has contributed to state-wide grants and initiatives including the North Carolina Collaborative for Mathematics Learning (NC2ML) and Tools4NCTeachers. Dawne served as part of the team that provided feedback and input into the NC2ML Instructional Frameworks. She attended meetings and provided feedback about how the new standards should be organized and grouped into clusters. On the Tools4NCTeachers grant, Dawne served as a lead author and professional development facilitator for the kindergarten resources and materials. In that role, Dawne was one of the leaders of a team who wrote lessons, tasks, parent letters, and other supplemental resources to support teachers. She also edited and assisted with the creation of the Next Steps documents for several grades on the Tools4NCTeachers project. In the last few years, Dawne has created instructional materials that she has shared for free. During the 2019-20 year, Dawne created free homework and activity sheets with mathematical tasks designed for third grade, and helped edit and provide feedback to the activity sheets created for grades 4 and 5. Dawne also developed a YouTube channel that includes a wealth of resources for elementary teachers --- videos on number talks, how to use manipulatives and technology resources, mathematical tasks, content support, and tips for the end-of-grade assessments. Dawne’s YouTube channel has over 3,000 subscribers. During the Spring of 2020 when COVID-19 required remote learning, Dawne added videos to her YouTube library by conducting live video lessons which used inquiry and the exploration of mathematical tasks. The city of Fayetteville’s local television station aired her videos in July 2020 as a resource for parents and students. In addition to the videos, Dawne also created and shared end-of-year tasks and activities that parents and teachers could utilize to gather information on students’ mathematical understanding. One person described Dawne as, “An incredible individual who gives freely of her time to provide feedback, support, and resources to teachers and educational leaders across the state".
