Using Instructional Routines and Activities to Teach Math to Students with Disabilities - This workshop will provide participants the opportunity to take a deep dive into ambitious mathematics instruction by exploring instructional routines and activities. “Instructional Routines” are specifically designed procedures which allow educators to temporarily hold some aspects of the classroom constant while highlighting others. Participants will examine and practice various instructional routines and then turn their attention to their own classroom by creating an instructional routine that can be implemented for immediate use for all students, including students with unique learning needs.
