Learn effective strategies to respond to and remove barriers for math learners. In almost every teaching and learning context, students face cognitive challenges that can create barriers to their deep and rich mathematical learning. These choke points and pitfalls can occur throughout the brain’s learning process in math. However, by using Chew & Cerbin’s (2021) framework, you can identify and respond to these cognitive challenges in a way that ensures equitable access and an opportunity for mathematics learning at the highest levels for every student. 

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

  • Describe the 9 cognitive challenges in teaching and learning as well as when and why they take place within the brain’s learning process
  • Recognize the 9 cognitive challenges within the context of math teaching and learning
  • Analyze effective strategies to respond to and remove these barriers to math learning 


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This seminar is applicable to K-12 general and special education teachers, math specialists, instructional coaches, and administrators.
