Today I'm attending the HDSB Collaborative Inquiry and Learning in Mathematics Information Session.

Learning Goal: 
*Fostering a culture of collaboration including co-planning,co-teaching and co-relfecting
*Building mathematics content
*Exploring instructional strategies that optimize learning

Collaborative Inquiry and mathematics is a professional learning program designed by the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat to help strengthen the capacity of school districts to improve teaching and learning in k-6 mathematics. Key elements of CILM include :classroom embedded mathematics, professional learning, facilitation of school and district level professional learning networks, close examination of student work and building leadership capacity
