Successfully implement the transformational math workshop model of instruction through five accessible, manageable steps: Step 1 Understand Math Workshop Step 2 Prepare Your Students for Math Workshop Step 3 Decide Your Math Workshop Structure Step 4 Facilitate Your Math Workshop Step 5 Reflect on and Refine Your Math Workshop Educators are invited to embrace this resource as their own personal "instructional coach," first exploring what the author refers to as "three buckets" that need to be in place for a highly successful math workshop: Classroom Arrangement Routines and Procedures Mathematics Community The resource then offers "Twenty Days to a Classroom Culture That Works," which includ...
Make Rich Math Instruction Come to Life Online In an age when distance learning has become part of the "new normal," educators know that rich remote math teaching involves more than direct instruction, online videos, and endless practice problems on virtual worksheets. Using both personal experience and those of teachers in real K-12 online classrooms, distance learning mathematics veteran Theresa Wills translates all we know about research-based, equitable, rigorous face-to-face mathematics instruction into an online venue. This powerful guide equips math teachers to: Build students’ agency, identity, and strong math communities Promote mathematical thinking, collaboration, and discourse ...
A workshop approach to math instruction can be a real game changer when it comes to engaging, challenging, and supporting every student, whether they need extra support or additional challenges. Jennifer Lempp and Skip Tyler provide the "what, why, and when" of math workshop, and then outline five steps to implementing this approach with middle and high school students: Understanding Math Workshop Preparing Students for Math Workshop Getting to Know the Components of Math Workshop Choosing a Workshop Structure for What You Need Refining Your Math Workshop Math Workshop 6-12 shows teachers how to establish student-centered learning opportunities that promote collaboration, classroom discourse, and productive struggle with rich tasks. Classroom video allows you to see math workshop in action, while editable online resources support your teaching with templates and guides.
A yearlong learning adventure designed to help you build a vibrant math community A powerful math community is an active group of educators, students, and families, alive with positive energy, efficacy, and a passion for mathematics. Students, teachers, and leaders see themselves and each other as mathematically capable and experience mathematics as a joyful activity. Power Up Your Math Community is a hands-on, 10-month guide designed to help you and your school maximize your students’ math learning and strengthen your mathematics teaching and learning community. Each chapter offers a month’s worth of practice-based professional learning focused on a desired math habit alongside parallel...
Teaching our children to think and reason mathematically is a challenge, not because students can't learn to think mathematically, but because we must change our own often deeply-rooted teaching habits. This is where instructional routines come in. Their predictable design and repeatable nature support both teachers and students to develop new habits. In Teaching for Thinking, Grace Kelemanik and Amy Lucenta pick up where their first book, Routines for Reasoning, left off. They draw on their years of experience in the classroom and as instructional coaches to examine how educators can make use of routines to make three fundamental shifts in teaching practice: Focus on thinking: Shift attenti...
The Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education provides a contemporary introduction to this classic area of sociology by examining the social origin and implications of the epistemological, organizational and demographic challenges facing medical education in the twenty-first century. Beginning with reflections on the historical and theoretical foundations of the sociology of medical education, the collection then focuses on current issues affecting medical students, the profession and the faculty, before exploring medical education in different national contexts. Leading sociologists analyze: the intersection of medical education and social structures such as gender, ethnicity and disability; the effect of changes in medical practice, such as the emergence of evidence-based medicine, on medical education; and the ongoing debates surrounding the form and content of medical curricula. By examining applied problems within a framework which draws from social theorists such as Pierre Bourdieu, this new collection suggests future directions for the sociological study of medical education and for medical education itself.
This approach to teaching basic math facts, grounded in years of research, will transform students' learning of basic facts and help them become more confident, adept, and successful at math. Mastering the basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is an essential goal for all students. Most educators also agree that success at higher levels of math hinges on this fundamental skill. But what's the best way to get there? Are flash cards, drills, and timed tests the answer? If so, then why do students go into the upper elementary grades (and beyond) still counting on their fingers or experiencing math anxiety? What does research say about teaching basic math facts so t...
"Based on a four-year research project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, this book is divided into four sections: Talk in the Mathematics Class (introducing five discussion strategies, or “moves,” that help teachers achieve their instructional goal of strengthening students’ mathematical thinking and learning), What Do We Talk About?, Implementing Talk in the Classroom, and Case Studies."--pub. desc.
