TARGET AUDIENCE: Although the course is initially intended for teachers of grades 5-8, teachers of grades K-4 will find the material very beneficial. A significant number of K-4 registrations will likely result in a shift of the content toward a K-4 audience.
TEAC 890: Responsive Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom in Lincoln
June 17-28, 8 a.m. to noon (Class # 11430)
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.
