Four additional in-person training sessions on the new Mathematics Instructional Observation Protocol (MIOP) are available Sept. 12, Oct. 13, Nov. 10 and Dec. 5, for individuals who were not able to attend the summer session. Registration for all sessions is open and will close three days before the event.
In June, the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) released the MIOP for Mississippi grades 3-12 public schools. The MIOP provides key indicators and evidence of effective practice that administrators should look for when conducting observations, such as “Learning Walks” or “Walk-Throughs” of a mathematics classroom. This summer, the MDE partnered with Education Preparation Providers (EPPs) across the state to offer seven in-person training sessions.
The four upcoming sessions are on Sept. 12, Oct. 13, Nov. 10 and Dec. 5 are open to LEA school administrators, math content leads, math coaches, administrator and educator preparation instructors, administrator and educator program candidates, and other mathematics instructional stakeholders.
NOTE: Administrators are encouraged to attend with their math content lead, though it is not a requirement for attendance.
