Who is invited?
This professional learning opportunity is specifically designed for Pre-K-5 mathematics educators, including classroom teachers, special education teachers, Title 1 teachers, math or instructional coaches, and math support staff.
Why participate?
- Learn about and practice using a diagnostic interview tool for mathematics and how to plan for instruction based on results
- Recognize the developmental progression of and misconceptions in mathematics learning
- Strengthen your own pedagogical and content knowledge in mathematics
- Compare assessment practices and ways to use assessment to improve student learning
- Take away the EMDI tool, ideas, resources, and materials to use in your school and classrooms
What are our key goals?
The key goals are to provide you with experiences, information, and resources to guide you in the areas of diagnostic assessment, identifying students’ mathematical needs, and developing knowledge of instructional strategies that have an impact on students’ mathematical learning.
What is our approach to professional development?
- Do the math: Using video and hands-on explorations, delve into key elementary mathematics concepts using multiple approaches, including identifying types of questions and responses and varying types of mathematical
- Connect to research: Discuss readings that connect each topic to research and take away powerful research-based approaches, tools, and resources to use in your school and
