Teachers are tasked to use the CCSSM standards & math practices. Too often students of African ancestry see no relevance in the lesson, This presentation shows the salient features that can be included in a culturally relevant math lesson._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:

The CTC will eliminate the CSET exam for pre-service elementary teachers. Our courses will have major responsibility to prepare future teachers to teach the CaCCSS, including the mathematical practices. Speakers will share ideas and spark discussion._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:

In this session, I share what I learned from my dissertation video study of two high school teachers who were learning to enact Number Talks. I wanted to learn what the teachers found most challenging and how coaching supported their learning. _x000B_ In examining the videos of the Number Talks, I noticed that even when teachers use teaching strategies that are recommended for engaging students in productive mathematical discussions, it can be hard to let go of familiar practices that we think of as "teaching" (such as asking leading questions or verifying students' answers), but that when we are able to forego those habits, students' agency and authority has more space to grow. I hope these ideas will be useful for teachers and coaches alike._x000B__x000B_EVALUATION POLL CODE:
