During the spring, the Lower School faculty decided that they would like to "readopt" Investigations. Three parts of that process would be:

• Revisit the weakness of the program as identified by each team.

• Systematically document how we supplement the program to address those needs so that year-to-year, we have resources and ideas for differentiation (Jo Boaler, Context for Learning)

• Engage in Professional Development for Investigations and Contexts for Learning to deepen individual teacher math practice.

I used this idea lab time to create a system and standard for documenting the program pacing from grade to grade, specific tools for supplementation, homework, collaboration with specialists, and assessments. I also thought about how we might build in time during the regular school year to keep the system updated. I also researched and planned a PD session for our LS faculty around fact fluency to work on that last bullet point of helping teachers deepen their math practice.
