It is important that ALL students connect with math in a way that allows them to achieve at high levels. Teachers need students to love math and be able to see its beauty. We will dive into brain research and look at equity issues in math. When teachers understand math in a new way they will inspire students to enjoy math class and be successful. This class prepares you to do just that. The text “What’s Math Got To Do With It?” by Jo Boaler is required.

Student Testimonials:

I gathered more resources and was reminded of some others I'd forgotten while taking this course that I've been able to use immediately in my classroom. I found the additional materials, articles, etc, that were assigned to be helpful because they gave me new tools that I could use in my classroom.

---Winter 2018 Student

After taking this course, I feel as though my commitment to building math concepts and number sense is even stronger. I don’t dread math time as much anymore since I’ve given myself the freedom, and my principal has as well, to do what I know is best for my students.
