 Facilitator Training Overview
 The Mathematics Learning Community is an exciting form of
 job-embedded, ongoing K-8 professional development that is focused on
 student learning.  The MLC uses student work as a means to connect
 professional development to the classroom and stimulate authentic
 discussions about how students learn mathematics with the goal of
 improving students' understanding of mathematics.
 During Facilitator Training, you will become a member of a model MLC
 in which you will experience the format and math content of MLC
 Sessions 1 -10 and engage in thoughtful discussions about math
 metacognition and problem solving strategies.  In addition, you will
 also view video clips ofMLC's in action, discuss facilitation
 dilemmas, and learn how to select student work samples to share with
 your MLC.  Opportunities for practice facilitation and district
 collaboration will be available throughout the training.
 You will attend MLC Facilitator Training with K -8 math teacher
 leaders, coaches and specialists from other schools and districts. 
 You will also receive both electronic and on-site support as you
 implement the MLC back in your own school.
