Join NCCAT in April for program "It’s Time: Empowering Problem-Solvers" in Cullowhee. Now more than ever, it is time to empower our math learners with strategies that honor students’ strengths and propel problem-solving forward. In this session, we will discuss student-centered practices that move learning beyond simply finding the “correct answer.” We will learn strategies for problem-solving instructional routines as well as protocols to facilitate tasks in the math classroom. Authentic problem-solving needs engagement, supports, and encouragement.
To promote reading fluency, incorporate repeated reads focusing on decoding, then phrasing, and lastly reading smoothly with expression. Dr. Jan Hasbrouck discusses reading fluency here and shares that the foundation of fluency is accuracy. NCCAT Early Grades Literacy Specialist Gin Hodge shares this tip.
