Institute Description
All teachers of mathematics face the challenge of meeting the instructional needs of a wide range of students. This institute helps teachers understand what it means to support all students by differentiating three aspects of the math curriculum--content, process, and product. Teachers examine a variety of approaches that help them make instructional adjustments to content, provide activities that address how different students learn, and offer a variety of ways for students to demonstrate what they've learned.
Through hands-on experience teachers will:
- Experience and analyze strategies to adapt classroom practices that address the wide range of learners in their classrooms and make learning accessible for all students.
- Gather and use information about what students already know, what interests them, and how they best learn math.
- Choose, analyze, and adjust tasks to accommodate students' varying levels of readiness.
- Experience a classroom atmosphere that stimulates and supports students' learning of mathematics.
Teachers will not only take away a wealth of strategies and activities to use with their students, but will also leave with a much deeper understanding of the mathematics they teach.
