Dear Colleague:
I have spent a significant part of 30 plus years in mathematics education
working in schools and with students who represent a greatly diverse student
population. With much study, practical applications as a teacher, supervisor and
mathematics coach, I have developed an extensive knowledge base of what
works and what doesn’t work. I have focused this new seminar on the most
current and effective ideas, strategies and activities that actually do work to help
students in grades 6-12.
With more emphasis on both high academic rigor and high expectations, it is
increasingly important that we are able to design and conduct instruction and
assessment in the classroom that are focused on the needs of ALL students.
Of course, the challenge facing us in the classroom is to accommodate the
individual and collective needs and abilities of the student population served.
We must ensure that classroom instruction is focused and aligned to support
a student’s understanding and knowledge of mathematics concepts, skills
and ability to apply them in problem solving situations but also in supporting
language acquisition. Additionally, in order to increase student success, the
teacher must learn strategies that address the language of mathematics and
incorporate these literacy strategies on a daily basis.
This seminar is
designed to provide you
with the most current,

and research‑based ideas

This seminar is designed to provide you with the most current, best, practical
strategies and research-based ideas that target the teaching of mathematics in
grades 6-12. My focus is to provide you with easy-to-use and classroom-tested
activities that model effective teaching techniques, cooperative grouping
techniques, effective use and design of individual and group formative
assessments, and integration of teaching and learning strategies that address
the mathematical needs of students in grades 6-12.
Please join me for a day devoted to strengthening mathematics instruction
in grades 6-12 as we look at and discover the most current, best strategies
for teaching math. My personal goal will be to provide each participant with
concrete ideas and strategies designed to ensure that ALL your students become
successful in mathematics.
Sincerely,
mathematics in grades 6-12.”
