About this Event
How do we engage students in mathematics in ways that value their thinking, broaden their ideas of what it means to do math, and advance equity in classrooms? If you’re a teacher, education leader, or researcher interested in engaging with others in the close study of mathematics teaching practice, we hope you’ll join us for a week-long opportunity to explore the complexity of teaching and investigate and challenge what it means to use skillful teaching to disrupt patterns of injustice.
Each day, participants will observe upper elementary children working on mathematics in a live two-hour class. You will discuss what is happening in class with other educators and with the teachers, Deborah Ball and Darrius Robinson, and participate in an afternoon workshop of your choice. In daily pre- and post-class discussions, we’ll unpack instructional decisions, examine mathematics content, and interrogate issues of equity in classrooms. In-person and synchronous virtual participation opportunities are available.
