Curriculum Connections and Examples that Create Mirrors, Windows and Revolving/ Sliding doors for Students
In this webinar, we will use the principles of Culturally Responsive, Relevant and Sustaining Pedagogies to make curriculum connections to our teaching approaches to create Mirrors, Windows and Revolving/ Sliding doors for Students. We will explore how an ‘asset-based’ approach to the curriculum allows students to not only see themselves reflected in their learning, but …

Nix the Tricks! Rules that Break, and Rules that Expire in Grade 4-10 Mathematics
As students travel through the landscape of mathematics, certain rules tend to break on them. Certain rules expire as our need for more sophisticated number concepts and operations develops. That is why giving students “tricks” probably harms them in the long run. This webinar will explore how to build a strong conceptual foundation, so students’ …

Math Tasks to Support the Progression and Development of Multiplication and Division
In this webinar, participants will first review the research by Clements and Lawson to more fully understand the progressions of learning in multiplication and division. We will then explore specific tasks that will help support student development and understanding to move along this continuum to develop more efficient and effective strategies for these operations. Resources …
