While this is one of the early skills we assess\, there are other mathematical reasoning processes that are foundational to school mathematics. Research tells us that early mathematics skills are a better predictor of adult socioeconomic status (SES) than are childhood SES or reading achievement. Developing these foundational beginning processes is critical to establishing this firm foundation. In addition\, students who struggle may have gaps in these beginning processes which impact many domains of mathematics. Supporting these learners to shore up these foundations is equally essential. \nIn part one of this two-part series\, Dr. Sara Delano Moore shares an overview of the five beginning processes as well as a deeper look at how they impact student understanding of numbers and operations. How does understanding attributes support developing understanding of numbers? What are the roles of comparing and ordering in this progression? We share activities for young learners to establish the foundation as well as resources that could support intervention in these areas for school-age learners. Watch Sara to learn more about these essential beginning processes for mathematics and how they can support your students. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers\, school leaders\, and math leaders and coaches of the preK through elementary levels.  \nMath Processes for All Young Learners: Setting the Stage for Long-Term Success in Geometry and Measurement – Part 2 \n \nAbout the Presenter \nSara Delano Moore\, Ph.D. serves as Director of Professional Learning and Chair of the Mathematics Advisory Board at ORIGO Education.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sara Smith\, Creative Director\, FableVision Learning; and Stephanie Corrente\, Senior Learning Leader\, Eduscape \nSponsored by FableVision Learning and Eduscape \nWatch the Recording\nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation.\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nCreativity is not art. It is a mindset that impacts both social and emotional well-being and problem-solving for teachers. Creativity can be developed; it is not inherited. Thus\, a teacher with a creative mindset approaches challenges of the school structure differently and approaches challenges displayed by students differently. A teacher with a creative mindset develops a teaching style that imbues this mindset in their students and provides students with creative tools. Thus\, the creative teacher creates a positive feedback loop and can impact outcomes. \nIn this recorded edWebinar\, viewers will: \n\nReview what creativity is and what it looks like in the classroom\nExplore a framework to use to understand the principles\nDiscover the interplay of creativity to SEL and STEM\nLearn about tools that are accessible to classroom teachers to develop creativity skills\n\nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, librarians\, STEM teachers and coaches\, and curriculum directors. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nSara Smith is Creative Education Development Manager for FableVision Learning.
