The Northern Kentucky Algebra Community is a face-to-face and online professional
learning community designed for teachers of Algebra in the Northern Kentucky
region. The purpose of the Community is to create a sustainable network
of teachers who reflect formally and informally on their teaching practices
in order to more effectively teach Algebra. Face-to-face meetings will be
augmented by online discussions and sharing of lessons. Discussions will
focus on maintaining rigorous teaching techniques that promote high-level
demands for student learning, where students explore and explain the nature
of mathematical concepts and self-monitor their own cognitive processes,
and engage in non-routine problem-solving through the stages of a mathematical
task framework, while still gaining necessary and worthwhile skills for
advancement beyond Algebra.
