The UC Davis Mathematics Project is perfectly situated to assist
schools in meeting staff development needs in the area of
mathematics. All UCDMP programs are standards-based and focus on
mathematics achievement for all students.
We have teachers/consultants able to provide ongoing,
research-based professional development programs in mathematics
for teachers in grades K-12. These programs are designed to meet
needs specified by schools. Schools and districts can access many
funding sources to support math professional development,
including II/USP, High Priority School grants and No Child Left
Behind.

fractions?
✔ Exploring ways to incorporate modeling in your classroom?
Common Practices, Common Goals: A Promise of Mathematical
Proficiency
A Saturday Series for K-12 Mathematics Educators
Please join us in exploring not only the CaCCSS-M but also proven
strategies and techniques that will help us keep the promise to
develop mathematically proficient students.
On August 2, 2010, the California State Board of Education
adopted the CaCCSS-M. According to the Common Core State
Standards, “These Standards are not intended to be new names
for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the
next step. It is time for states to work together to build on
lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It
is time to recognize that these standards are not just promises
to our children, but promises we intend to keep.” (p.5)
