2010-2011 School Year
//Facilitated by Candi Di Biase & Kimberlee Texter, Staff Development Specialists// The standards define what students should understand and be able to do. But what does mathematical understanding look like? Join us for two days and examine key areas to begin planning for curriculum changes. We will provide modeling, visual, and abstract activities to support teachers in the classroom. There is an additional option for presenters to model lessons in your own classroom!
