Role of Administrators

• To support the development of a strong collection of resources to encourage resource-based learning. Teachers should be encouraged to use community-based resources as well.
• To support teachers who wish to collaborate to plan units, to expand their repertoire of instructional methods, and to use appropriate evaluation strategies.
• To inform parents, boards and the community that the Elementary Mathematics Curriculum outlines specific concepts and skills that need to be developed. Instruction will be influenced by the previous experiences of teachers and students, community resources, and the cultural background of students.
• To inform parents, boards and the community that the course encourages teachers to use a variety of instructional strategies and methods that are appropriate to the teaching of the Mathematics Curriculum. These strategies and methods will in turn require a variety of evaluation procedures.
