This session will help you meet your students within their zone of proximal development to move their learning forward using specific practices and strategies. Participants explore how to:
- Notice and name mathematical learning in play
- Use more than one developmental continuum to place students on a trajectory and support learning within a student’s zone of proximal development
- Provide feedback to support moving learning forward
- Organize small group instruction to meet a wide variety of student learning needs
- Document mathematical learning effectively
The learn how you can provide very specific feedback as you complete the Kindergarten Communication of Learning.
