TEAC 890: Responsive Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom
LOCATION: Omaha, July 21-25, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Class # 9861)
The new Nebraska state and Common Core standards for mathematics are based largely on learning progressions. Knowledge of learning progressions provides teachers with a road-map for following children's progress as they develop understanding of a concept. Thus, the aim of this course is to familiarize elementary and middle-level teachers with children's mathematical learning progressions in order to provide teachers with a way to analyze student thinking and respond with instruction that guides students through the next steps needed to advance and deepen understanding.
