NCCAT presents - NC Grades 2-8: Routines for Reasoning in the Math Classroom

276 NCCAT Drive, Cullowhee 28723

How do we encourage students to think as mathematicians? This program, based on the book Routines for Reasoning, will explore a range of routines that can be used in the classroom to facilitate students’ mathematical reasoning. Utilizing the eight mathematical practices, the routines learned in this program will empower teachers to help students scaffold word problems, develop deeper understandings of quantities, and make connections to big ideas in math.

15669: Poverty and Learning: Building Awareness Virtual

Virtual

Time: 9-11 a.m.

When establishing classroom cultures, understanding that poverty does not define a student is critical. Based on the work of Gorski (2017), this session will build awareness about the research of families experiencing poverty and demystify poverty as a deficient culture. We will explore the principles of equity literacy and discuss how these principles can improve our classrooms and schools. Additionally, participants will have opportunities to collaborate about this critical topic with colleagues from across NC. This session is intended for any K-12 teacher, instructional coach, or school leader.

15634: Get Your PBL On!: Designing Project-Based Learning in Digital Format - Virtual

Virtual
Virtual program
 
It’s time to start thinking outside the box! Teachers often think projects take too much time to plan or don’t know how to align them with the curriculum. PBLs are an effective and enjoyable way to learn which allows students to work as a team, reflect, ask questions, build confidence, work with a purpose, problem solve, and learn time management. Investigate what essential questions, unit questions, and content questions will enable you to develop your own PBL unit using digital tools. Return to your classroom with a PBL unit you create that will excite and engage your students as they claim ownership of their learning.
