Participants will learn to gradually implement new methods that promise not only to elevate engagement but also to enrich the depth of thinking within the math class. In this journey, the conventional lecture style takes a backseat, collaborative student work takes over. Our aim is to cultivate heightened engagement, fostering meaningful and productive discussions that stimulate critical thinking among our students. Through subtle yet impactful adjustments to our current practices and materials, we can boost positive changes in the classroom dynamic. The exploration will include group formats, learning tasks, environments, lesson structures, teacher feedback, and methods for assessing understanding. Our ultimate objective is to inspire minor modifications and additions to existing methodologies. Participants are encouraged to actively contribute to this collective learning experience by sharing their ideas and materials. This workshop is suitable for all teachers seeking to enhance the dynamics of their math classrooms and improve student engagement and achievement. Suitable for grades 3-12.
Several days prior to the start of the course, participants receive an email with instructions for accessing the course. A week’s material is posted at the start of each week. Participants are expected to read content and review various resources, write replies/answer questions, share experiences, and engage in discussions with the course facilitator and other participants. None of the assignments are completed in "real-time;" you can work at the times that best suit your own schedule.
