Summary

The goal of this series of books is to help principals focus on the major components of the topics covered. Mathematics teaching and learning is an important component of your responsibilities as a principal, assistant principal, or school-based instructional leader, and it is also one of the most difficult challenges you'll face. As you think about your school or district mathematics needs, What Principals Need to Know About Teaching and Learning Mathematics helps you frame the mathematics needs and challenges faced at the school and district level around content, learning, and instructional expectations. This book will provide you with suggestions that reflect such resources as Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and the Common Core State Standards. The first four chapters each focus on one aspect of a high-quality mathematics program: content, instruction, assessment, and response to intervention. Each of these chapters includes a section on the resources informing that topic. The last four chapters look more closely at the overarching concepts of evaluation, professional development, family engagement, and taking action. All chapters include a section on priorities related to that topic.
