15810 Grades 4-9 Creating Math Communities and Connecting Learners

Now more than ever, students need classroom cultures that value their strengths as learners and human beings. We know math classrooms should be places where all students are empowered to think as mathematicians on a daily basis, so how do we create these communities for students in our care? Join NCCAT to learn innovative strategies that build classroom cultures of active care and engage students in mathematics thinking. We will delve into the work of Krall (2018) and Jansen (2020) to reflect on our current classroom structures and learn new avenues to empower students. Sessions will focus on building classrooms focused on care, thinking and problem-solving, and study skills. Time will be included for teachers to write or revise their syllabus for the upcoming school year and put these new strategies to practice. Join us to create classroom cultures that teach the mindsets of mathematicians. This session is intended for math teachers in grades 4th through 9th and instructional coaches who work in secondary schools.

No classes are being offered at this time for this course.
