Description:
When I ask math teachers to share their vision for strong and equitable math instruction in their classrooms, the answers are very consistent. They want to provide opportunities for students to problem solve, think critically about math, and engage in discussion and discourse. However, when I observe math classes, rarely do I see these practices in action. So what is it that gets in the way of teachers realizing their vision? It’s the fact that so many students have unfinished learning from previous grade levels, and the ways in which teachers try to address it DOES NOT align to their vision. But what can be done? Listen in to hear a simple strategy you can use to create a bridge to grade-level math to help all students access the learning.
