July 26-30, 2010: Math Boot Camp... How Can We Increase Our Capacity?

Workshop 3 will answer the question: When school starts this fall, how will our team provide comprehensive and effective-math instruction for ALL students in our schools including those with math disabilities and others who are not making adequate growth in mathematics?

This week-long offering will focus on increasing a deeper understanding of mathematical content with attention to integrating instructional and assessment practices to support math learning.

This workshop will have elementary and secondary breakout groups. The elementary content will include a focus on whole number concepts and the secondary will include a focus on rational number concepts.

Participants will:
• Learn key milestones of mathematical learning progressions in whole number (for elementary) and rational number (for secondary).
• Use screening and diagnostic data to inform instruction and intervention
• Apply learning to deepen understanding of the RtI process in mathematics

Participants can expect an intentional focus on application of learning to facilitate strategic planning for their teaching contexts. Teams of mathematics teachers and interventionists are encouraged to attend.
