Project Overview
The EnCoMPASS Project is developing an online professional teaching community of mathematics educators focused on understanding and improving mathematical thinking through work with formative assessment rubrics and feedback to student problem solving. In this community, members extend their content knowledge for teaching and seek to become more effective at supporting the mathematical development of each student.
For Teachers:
The EnCoMPASS Project will help teachers better understand the challenges that students face in learning mathematics and will support teachers’ instructional practice through the collaborative development and use of instructional practices that are guided by formative assessment and are likely to increase student engagement and success.
