Math RBIS Belief Statement Collaboration Guide

Work through this with your team right after each component is presented. Your entries save to your team's own shared guide and roll straight up into the district dashboard, where the Leadership Team can compile and share them.

Enter your district and team name above to start your team's guide.

A powerful vision statement…

  • Focuses on math — one specific content area.
  • Uses clear, concise, and specific language.
  • Serves as a memorable, compelling call-to-action.
  • Explicitly commits to grade-level instruction and high expectations for all students.

What makes a belief statement strong

  • It's grounded in this RBIS — not written in the abstract.
  • It shows the team's own thinking — not a copy-and-paste of the RBIS wording.
  • It promotes equitable, on-grade-level instruction for every student.
1

Depth and Coherence of Key Concepts and Procedures

Teach math like a connected, coherent story within and across grade levels while going deep on the most important concepts and procedures for the grade level.

2

Conceptual Understanding, Procedural Fluency, and Automaticity

Develop conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and automaticity as an interdependent and iterative process in pursuit of mathematical proficiency and efficiency.

3

Effective Explicit Instruction for Novice Learners

Provide effective explicit instruction on mathematical concepts and procedures for novice learners to build accurate understanding.

4

Effective Practice for Mathematical Independence

Facilitate effective student practice with feedback on concepts and procedures that have been explicitly taught in pursuit of developing mathematical independence.

What happens after this session

Your entries save automatically to the District Dashboard tab above. The Leadership Team reviews every team's language side by side, by RBIS, pulls forward the recurring words and ideas, and refines one statement per RBIS for the district's Math Instructional Framework.

Entries save to your team's shared entry as you type, so anyone on your team can pick up where you left off.
