In this institute you will learn how to address all eight of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice within workshop model instruction. We will explore how explicit thinking strategy instruction can promote students’ deep mathematical understanding. Additionally we will discuss and model how to facilitate classroom discussions that support all learners, preparing them with the problem-solving skills they need to make meaning of math, succeed on standardized assessments, and face life’s many mathematical challenges.

Includes

  • Certificate of attendance for CDE credit
  • Lunch each day
  • A copy of All Minds on Mathematics by Wendy Ward Hoffer

Optional Lab Classroom - December 3rd

Join us after the Institute to observe effective math instruction live and in person in a PEBC lab classroom.

You will enjoy an artfully facilitated half day of learning, including a pre-brief with the lab host teacher, a full lesson observation, an opportunity to debrief and ask questions, lunch onsite, and most importantly, identifying tactical take-aways that you can implement in your own school or classroom the following week.

"Invigorating! I experienced the kind of learning community that makes time fly, understanding deepen, and my practice better. I will be able to implement strategies tomorrow that will improve learning for students (and myself)"

-- STEM: Design Thinking, Primary-Upper Elementary

"A wonderful experience- Through discourse with peers, you learn ways to make math not only more engaging, but more meaningful. You also learn how to help students that are struggling with math problems with a buffet of strategies, which can be helpful in any classroom."

-- Classroom Teacher, Upper Elementary

"Amazing training! The trainers were so knowledgeable and really led the training the way we would teach in front of students. I learned so many new skills and strategies I can't wait to try with my students."

-- Classroom Teacher, Primary
