Rural Math Collaborative
Led by the Lake and Butte County Offices of Education and Chico Math Project and CA Math Project North Coast, in partnership with the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, the Rural Math Collaborative's (RMC) purpose is to strengthen a system of support for math instruction across the state, specifically supporting small County Offices of Education and small Local Educational Agencies. Key components of the Rural Math Collaborative include on-going, high quality professional development and coaching, ongoing Professional Learning Networks (PLN) focused on mathematics instruction (including Lesson Study) and mathematics interventions focused on issues faced by small, rural and remote educational partners.
Mission/Vision
The goals of the RMC are to: Build capacity in California's rural counties to support math instruction and improve the culture of math education in rural communities; Instill positive changes in attitudes and dispositions about math to promote greater student and teacher efficacy; and Support teachers in the mindset shift from deficit-based, remedial approaches to asset-based acceleration approaches.
Programs
The Rural Math Collaborative has partnered with over 20 small and/or rural COEs to reach all educators in the far north region. Additionally, the Rural Math Collaborative includes a strong partnership with the Chico Math Project and CA Math Project North Coast to develop and implement high-quality professional learning in mathematics.
