Overview
Wisconsin Standards for Mathematics were revised in 2021 and Wisconsin Essential Elements for Mathematics were revised in 2022. The professional learning modules and related webinar recordings on this page support schools, districts, and/or organizations in developing a general understanding of both these academic achievement standards and alternate academic achievement standards in order to ensure instruction, materials, and assessments are aligned.
An introductory webinar and related Google slides can be found for Wisconsin Essential Elements for Mathematics.
Next, a series of learning modules and recorded webinars can be found for Wisconsin Standards for Mathematics. Each module includes Google slides with speaker notes and any applicable handouts. The modules can be saved and edited for local use. Each webinar is a recorded version of the learning from the related learning module.
While an individual could use these materials to develop an understanding of the content, we encourage learning about these standards and alternate standards to be done collaboratively.
