ACCOMMODATIONS for TLQP X | 2013

Accommodations on campus in Marcy, a new and comfortable Binghamton University dormitory (single rooms with linens), parking, and breakfasts and lunches are free to registrants. Dinner is on your own; there are many restaurants of all kinds along the Vestal Parkway near campus.

PARKING for TLQP X | 2013

Park in the university’s visitors’ parking lot behind Bartle Library when you arrive. We’ll give you a ticket to exit the lot without paying each day. If you are staying overnight in the dorm, though, you will want to move to the dormitory’s parking lot at the end of the first day, and you will need a special, separate parking pass for dormitory parking. Please check the appropriate box on the registration form to let us know that you need that special dorm parking pass. If you do not have one, you will be ticketed.

Dr. Schmittau continued her focus on teaching the Common Core standards in math. Dr. Tom Sweeney from Sage Colleges and Dr. Dean Spaulding from College of Saint Rose gave presentations. Bill Hildin gave us some problems on comparisons, ratios and percentages.

There were some nice manipulatives and other teaching aids for everyone to take home.

Congratulations to Brenda Lidestri!

A recent Binghamton City School District newsletter announces that “Elementary Math Staff Developer Brenda Lidestri has been selected to participate in the 2011 Illuminations Writing Group and Summer Institute, a program of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Brenda was selected as one of just 12 teachers nationwide after submitting a video lesson and two other lesson plans.Participants will collaborate through a series of e-workshops to create lessons and videos that will be published in “Illuminations,” the NCTM’s website that provides resources such as lessons and activities for teaching math. By the end of the program, all participants will have completed two lessons and one video.The summer institute is a week-long residential program held at NCTM headquarters in Reston, VA. Building on the Illuminations Writing Group opportunities, participants will attend face-to-face professional development activities and prepare more resources for the Illuminations library. The group will collaborate to write a unit on a single math topic, and each participant will write an additional individual lesson. The unit of lessons along with the personal lesson will be published on Illuminations.
Competition for this opportunity was strong. ‘This year’s finalist group was the strongest yet,’ said Julia Zurkovsky, Illumination’s Content Coordinator. ‘You should be proud of your excellent work.’”Brenda has been part of the Teacher Leader Quality Partnership from its beginnings and graduated from Dr. Schmittau’s program here at Binghamton University. CLICK HERE to read the newsletter in its original format.We love this kind of TLQP news!Brenda also did a presentation at the TLQP workshop on Saturday, March 5.

(This is a zip file containing 2 docs and one XLS sheet – There are two tests because one was for first graders and the other was for second graders.) Also, because so many TLQP people also teach ELA, here’s a link to ELA curriculum maps that reflect the CCS..
