This 3-day institute will focus on essential mathematics content in grades 6-8, including ratio and proportional relationships, expressions and equations. Statistical contexts will be included to reinforce their proportional reasoning skills.
We will explore how classrooms can incorporate “three shifts” that are essential for equitable teaching and are necessary to develop mathematical proficiency and agency, specifically:
1) How can we engage students in problem-based tasks and lessons?
2) How do we create math lessons that promote access, inclusion, and equity for all learners?
3) How do we use school mathematics to develop job-essential skills such as perseverance, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking?
When: October 17, November 9, December 6, 2023

Price: $450
Administrators may attend with the teacher(s) from their district/building at no cost.
