Registration Information Institute Highlights Common Core State Standards (CCSS) aligned workshops that will build capacity and awareness by providing a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematics and best research based teaching practices. These workshops include tasks that reflect the level of rigor that is required by the standards, and the instructional process will push participants to think deeply about the content. After completing mathematical tasks, participants reflect on how the task supports student proficiency in some or all of the practice. Keynote sessions facilitated by education industry leaders who are experts in mathematics teaching and learning. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from and dialogue with leading education innovators who are engaged in the work of successful student achievement. Networking opportunities with colleagues across the nation to share best practices and innovative classroom ideas.
