| The
No Child Left Behind law requires that teachers are highly qualified
in their content area(s) and that paraprofessionals can demonstrate ability
to assist mathematics classes. In addition, national and state math standards
can only be meaningful if classroom teachers expand their understanding
not only of mathematics across all strands but also of pedagogy and teaching
tools.
With extensive background in mathematics education
at all levels we offer a wide range of math content workshops to meet
the differing needs of schools. We will work with the sponsoring school
to develop workshops that are timely, meaningful, productive, and tailored
to meet your goals.
Common requests include:
| Growth of a strand across
several grades |
| Effective use of manipulatives
for conceptual understanding |
| Alternative methods for
teaching computation |
| Building home/school partnerships
through Family Math and Family Science |
