April
Inputs: What you're investing in the project. (Examples: money, staff, volunteers, time, equipment, materials, technology, partners, etc.)
Activities: What the program does. (Examples: tutor, teach financial literacy, serve meals, mentor, etc.)
Outputs: The direct results of the program activities. How much/many activities are provided (number of youth matched with a mentor, number of tutoring sessions, number of youth served, etc.)
Outcomes: The benefits realized in the population served by the program. Answers the question – “So what difference does the program make?” (new skills, change in behavior, change in attitudes, new knowledge, etc.)

December
Goals
- What would you like to influence? Why?
- How would you know if you're successful? What would that look like?
- What ideas do you have for collecting evidence? What would you need?
Applied Research
For this section of this project, you will provide research-based support for your Math LeaDs Project plan. We've estimated approximately 10 hours of research time for this section. You'l summaraize your research findings and provide a bibliography. Here are some steps to consider:
- Search for relevant articles
- Evaluate sources
- Identify themes, debates and gaps
- Outline the structure
- Write your review

- Example 1: In order to increase student growth in mathematics, we will work as a staff to develop our professional knowledge of the curriculum. Our staff will dive into the multiple parts of the curriculum, assess student achievement and reflect on their own teaching practices to build confidence and knowledge of the curriculum.
- Example 2: Provide a place where secondary teachers can go to connect with other secondary teachers and collaborate together to improve their teaching and students’ learning through principles learned in the Teaching Mathematical Thinking course.
- Example 3: Shift the mindset of fellow math educators to the mathematical mindset vision through understanding the benefits of productive struggle, how to plan for productive struggle, how to support productive struggle value failures and mistakes as learning opportunities, and freedom of thought – allowing students to think and value their own thinking and reasoning
- Example 4: In order to increase student engagement and achievement: Develop PLC vertically, Help students own learning, Implement instructional practices that meet the needs of ALL learners.
- Begin thinking about what you might want to collect as evidence of change or growth.
- Continue practicing Effective Teaching and Learning Principles
