 Staff Development Agenda Use the following table as a planning tool to complete the preliminary organization of the learner-centered staff development session. Refer to the Resource documents “Learner-Centered Principles” and “Learner-Centered Practices” to help you generate ideas for activities. Session Purpose: Participants will examinate strategies that enhance students’ comprehension of mathematical concepts and improve their problem solving skills. Future professional sessions will be served within Small Learning Community (SLC) in assisting Sterling students to either meet or surpass the proficiency standard for mathematics. || Learning Objective to Be Addressed:  All faculty and staff on campus will provide support to assist language arts to be incorporated into the mathematics curriculum. All math classes in grades 9 to 12 will integrate reading, writing, and oral language on a daily basis.  || Approving Principal: Linda Wright  |||||| Presentation Date:  10/07/2009 || Grade Level: 9-12 || Facilitator: Anh Ton |||| Location: Sterling <span style="color: #1f497d; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> High School <span style="color: #1f497d; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Library || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Start Time: <span style="color: #1f497d; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">3:00 p.m. || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">End-Time: <span style="color: #1f497d; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> <span style="color: #1f497d; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">3:45 p.m. <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Learner-Centered Activity || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Purpose |||| <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Description || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Steps || <span style="color: windowtext; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Estimated Time || Introduction <span style="color: #1f497d; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || Explain how language arts would help to improve student academic success in math.
