In many classrooms, math instruction includes tactics and philosophies that are at odds with the research evidence on how children learn. With more than half of elementary and middle school students and nearly half of high school students not demonstrating proficiency in math, it’s clear that changes in how it is taught are needed to ensure all children develop the math skills needed to open doors to their future lives, including college enrollment and completion.
Join Amanda VanDerHeyden, Ph.D., for this edLeader Panel to deepen your understanding of what really works in math instruction. Dr. VanDerHeyden shares:
- An overview of the science of math instruction
- The effective ingredients of evidence-based math instruction
- What to look for in core math curricula and how to supplement your core to maximize learning gains
Tune in for this information-packed, fast-paced session that helps you make instructional shifts that increase students’ enjoyment of math and lead to better learning outcomes. This recorded edLeader Panel is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, math curriculum and instruction leaders, and MTSS/RTI coordinators.
