Learn to establish and lead collaborative planning sessions with your teacher teams and scale best practices in math.
Teachers need consistent opportunities to collaborate, share, and challenge each other to not only deepen their practice, but to drive more equitable outcomes for students in math. This workshop explores how to explore lesson design and lead collaborative planning sessions for teachers. From task analysis to backwards planning, you’ll gain the tools and protocols needed to help your team shift their practice, align on look-fors for student mastery, add interventions and accelerations without sacrificing core content, and provide culturally affirming, engaging and meaningful learning math tasks to all students. When done consistently, collaborative planning sessions replace exclusionary practices with more equitable practices rooted in the belief that all children can learn at extraordinarily high levels, especially in math.
