To promote a richer variety of mathematics learning experiences for their students, participants will analyze the following three lesson structures, one at a time:
- Inquiry-Based Lessons, including Hands-On lessons
- “Conscious” Practice Sessions
- Problem Solving Workshops
With each of these three lesson structures, participants will:
- Critique examples either via video, in-person simulations, or print
- Examine the role of core instructional practice elements (objective, varieties of interactions, end of lesson formative assessment, etc.)
- Determine how each supports each of the 8 NCTM Math Teaching Practices.
- Consider their own use of that lesson structure
Participants will also either review a Regents Exam from June, distilling the implications for our teaching OR make a preview of the Revised NYS Standards for Grades 5-8 Math, which we need to be ready to use in Fall 2020.
Dennis Desormier meets thousands of teachers each year in his workshops through Catapult Learning. His professional experience includes years of teaching, curriculum design, and instructional design for several organizations. However, his greatest love in the education field is professional development for teachers in the areas of mathematics and assessment. He has written (or cowritten) most of the mathematics and assessment workshops currently presented by Catapult staff around the country. His passion for rigorous but lighthearted teaching and learning comes through in every workshop he presents.

A Cholov Yisroel meal will be served with each workshop.
