Modifying Math Instruction to Increase Student Understanding
Janaye from Tales of Frogs and Cupcakes
Janaye from Tales of Frogs and Cupcakes
Math instruction is MUCH more than just teaching a set of rules and procedures. So, what does effective math instruction look like? Join in with Janaye, author of Tales of Frogs and Cupcakes as she explicitly shows you how to teach for understanding of concepts and procedures. With implementing these ideas and strategies, your students will know the "why" and not just the "how"! Ready to increase your students' understanding of math? Get set! Go!
At the intermediate level, teaching English Language learners can be challenging since students are not only expected to be able to speak and understand English, but also to read and write in English. How does a teacher meet these challenges? Heidi from Raki's Rad Resources will present key strategies for teaching English Language Learners so that you can meet these challenges head on! Whether you have one English Language Learner or twenty, you'll be empowered to put the strategies into place right away. Join Heidi as she takes a close look at how vocabulary, background knowledge and language experience play a pivotal part in today's intermediate classroom.
What kind of writers and thinkers do you expect your intermediate students to be? What kind of tool does it take to develop creative, reflective, and independent thinkers? Learning how to implement interactive student notebooks in your classroom can give your students the opportunity to develop these skills while learning content. What are interactive student notebooks? Join Mor, author of A Teacher's Treasure, as she shares the value of this tool that performs as a live journal, personalized textbook, and working portfolio. You'll learn how to set them up, use them for note-taking and activities, and how these can be a fantastic assessment tool.
