A team of National Training Network staff partner with a team of Local Education Agency staff to create a comprehensive resilient plan to improve mathematics instruction utilizing the “Seven Levels of Staff Development.”

Level 1:  Intensive Professional Development
Teachers are prepared to incorporate the key mathematical concepts using unique methodology and to build the capacity of the district.  Professional development also is provided to school and central office administrators to support implementation.

Level 2:  Comprehensive Lessons
A complete set of concept based lessons, each using multiple representations is provided to each teacher giving them the means to immediately implement their professional development.

Level 3:  Coaching
Personalized support is provided to district, school, and individual teacher needs through ongoing communication, staff development, team teaching, planning, and data analysis.

Level 4:  Assisting Through Looking at Students (ATLAS)
A unique means to gather data, ATLAS identifies student engagement, and allows teachers and coaches to collaborate on ways to improve student growth and success.

Level 5:  Professional Learning Communities
Professional Learning Communities are designed by coaches in consultation with teachers and administrators based on an analysis of ATLAS data.

Level 6:  Technology
Students, parents, teachers, and administrators have open access to NTN’s website – www.NTNmath.com which includes video demonstration lessons, homework, and lesson notes.  Additional technology support including digital versions of instructional materials, ATLAS, e-communications, and web based staff development are provided to all participants.

Level 7: Leadership Academy
NTN provides leadership academies across the country to build mathematics leadership at the classroom, school and district levels.
