Amount: 5,000.00
Scope: To provide a series of workshops that focus on helping teachers learn how to build a math workshop format in their classrooms, with particular focus on structures that support both language and mathematics development. The following ingredients constitute essential part of our design framework for creating access for all students: challenging mathematical tasks, multimodal representation, development of mathematical language and communication. Specifically, we will provide a series of 4 one-hour workshops for each grade level to be delivered during four consecutive weeks on designated professional development days (e.g. on Wednesdays). These workshops will focus on the development of core numeracy using number routines. The routines will be appropriate for both in-seat instruction and hybrid. |
