Welcome to the Online Professional Learning Community Talk on:
Why do Americans Stink at Math? By: Elizabeth Green
This online Professional Learning Community talk is designed to engage you in meaningful educational conversations about the many debates surrounding math in the United States and the Introduction of Common Core Math Standards.
My name is Jessi Toepfer and I will be your facilitator for this online workshop. I currently work at O/N BOCES as a PD Specialist and I am here to help in any way I can.
My work contact information: Jtoepfer@onboces.org (716)-731-6800 ext. 3758

Please dont hesitate to contact me for anything that you may need!
Throughout this two week online study please feel free to share anything you have learned thus far and ask any and all questions so that everyone can learn together! The benefit of learning online is the flexibility of being able to learn and explore at your own pace, but it is expected that you stay on track each week in order for meaningful conversations to be had.
The last date of this workshop is Saturday, March 5th, 2016 I will submit all names for 12 credit hours upon completion of all your posts on Monday, March 7th, 2016. If you have any required forms that need to be filled out for your district I will be happy to get those sent back to you ASAP. It is your professional responsibility to participate in the workshop to the best of your ability in order to receive the 12 credit hours of PD. I ask that you comment at least once on your own for each post I create and respond to a minimum of one other persons comment per post if needed and never fall beyond one week.
To create a profile you can click on comment and then "comment as" to choose a google sign-in, this will also connect you through your Gmail account so that your name will be shown. In the past school issued Gmail accounts will not work so you will have to use your personal or comment as anonymous and sign your name with each post.
Before beginning class please create your account by signing in to post in the Introductions field to make sure you can get it to work before the workshop begins.
Please feel free to give any feedback to me throughout this course and there will be a final course evaluation given in order to help us better help you! Thank you in advance!
Jessi Toepfer
