Inverting the Math Workshop at CSET - Stanford

Do you love teaching literacy and wish math felt the same? Are you interested in teaching math for deep meaning but not sure how to get there? Whether you call it inquiry-based, reform, constructivist, or sense-making, mathematics can be taught to empower students in the same ways we empower them as readers and writers. We just have to turn the workshop on its head. Join us as we build a vision for what a sense-making approach looks and feels like, investigate the reasoning behind this model, and craft lessons you can use to enact this vision with your own students next year.
June 13-17 at Stanford.
Cost: $600
