Catalog description

Transformative Mathematics Teaching I (2) In this course, practitioners identify and explore essential frameworks for effective mathematics teaching espoused by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. They also examine models for culturally relevant/responsive teaching and task-building and consider how to build tasks and lessons that are transformative, challenging, and authentic. The course provides participants with initial structure and resources to provide a framework for inclusive teaching that addresses a variety of settings. Practitioners create, adapt, and refine lessons and tasks that focus on how students build mathematical knowledge through rich and authentic problem-solving. Grading: A-F only.
