Description:

Today we have a special treat for your ears! We recently held a live panel discussion at the annual OAME Conference (Ontario Association of Mathematics) on de-streaming the grade 9 math program here in Ontario with some pretty special guests! 

We were honoured to host Dr. Christine Suurtamm who is a Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Ottawa, Hema Khodai, an Instructional Resource Teacher with Peel District School Board, Mark Chubb, a classroom teacher and past instructional coach, and finally Jason To who is a Coordinator for Secondary Mathematics and Academic Pathways with the TDSB. 

In this deep discussion we discuss the benefits of de-tracking or de-streaming as it helps to break down barriers that prevent marginalized students from an equal opportunity to succeed, thrive, and reach their full potential. 

You’ll Learn: 

  • What our panelists are looking forward to most for this first year of de-streamed grade 9 mathematics?
  • Some of the common challenges educators are concerned about with the introduction of an untracked grade 9 mathematics curriculum.
  • How we can work towards meeting the needs of all learners in a de-streamed program. 
  • What supports the Ministry of Education, districts, schools and other education stakeholders can put in place to support teachers in making this move forward.
  • How we might shift our assessment and evaluation practices to better promote an assessment for learning culture.
