WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

This workshop is specially designed for superintendents, school administrators, curriculum specialists, school strategists, department heads, professional developers or anyone that has a role in supporting math teachers K-12.

Increasing math proficiency and achievement requires improved instruction.

Teacher evaluations typically emphasize “instructional” strategies – to improve math instruction greater emphasis must be placed on math content strategies.

This workshop will address your knowledge and understanding of math and will result in making specific recommendations to teachers that will improve instruction and result in increased student achievement and comfort levels learning mathematics.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants receive an extensive resource electronic booklet containing:

·  Instructional and assessment recommendations

·  Examples of linkages to introduce topics in familiar language so students are more comfortable in their learning

·  Specific simple, straight-forward examples to be used with initial instruction,

·  Repeated scaffolding examples to reach grade level expectations

·  Strategies on building in repetition struggling students and students living in poverty students need to be successful

·  Strategies to create tests that set students up for success not only on unit tests but also on high-stakes exams

·  Sample of unit test using test design
