Future Resources • Summer Training Materials available on www.TNCore.org

by July 1 – You can find the Summer Training Materials by following these steps at the www.TNCore.org

website: • Scroll to the Math drop down menu on the homepage • Scroll to Training • Click on Materials • Future Rollout of Resources – Task arcs and training models will be released in July.

8

Task Arcs • A task arc is a set of related lessons consisting of eight rigorous tasks and eight lesson guides .

• For every set of related lessons, essential mathematical understandings are identified.

• As the lessons progress throughout the set, students are offered multiple opportunities to develop conceptual understanding of important mathematical concepts and engaging in the mathematical practices, while also increasing the complexity of thinking required by students.

• Task arcs will be based on the 2013-14 focus standards.

9

Where to Locate Task Arcs • Task arcs will be available in the Math Curricular Resources section for each listed grade band.

• Remember to sign up for www.TNCore.org

updates in order to be notified when the latest materials are available.

Core Beliefs Earning a living wage has never demanded more skills. This generation must learn more than their parents’ to do as well.

All children are capable of learning and thinking at a high level. Children in Tennessee are as talented as any in the country and often capable of more than we expect.

Our current education results pose a real threat to state and national competitiveness and security. Improving the skills of our children is vital for the future of Tennessee and America.

Tennessee is on a mission to become the fastest improving state in the nation. Doing so will require hard work and significant learning for all. We must learn to teach in ways we were not taught ourselves. There is no recipe that will deliver a successful transition. Preparing for Common Core will demand effective leadership focused on student growth.

PARCC is coming in two years. We need to use the transition wisely to make sure our students and our state are ready. 14
