Join us for an engaging two-day professional learning experience as we kick off the Pilot of the Texas Mathematics Academies. This academy is specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of the House Bill 2 legislation, ensuring educators are equipped with the latest research-based instructional strategies to elevate student outcomes in mathematics.
Over the course of two days, participants will dive deep into Modules 1 and 2, exploring "The Connected Story of K-5 Mathematics." This session focuses on the critical pillars of effective instruction, including
- Research-Based Instructional Strategies: Implementing proven methods to enhance mathematical understanding.
- Teacher Clarity & Student Engagement: Learning how to set clear learning intentions and keep students actively involved in their own mathematical thinking.
- Problem Solving & Modeling: Utilizing structured sequencing and models to bridge the gap between abstract concepts and concrete understanding.
- High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM): Discovering how to leverage top-tier resources to provide rigorous and equitable instruction for all students.
Participants will also receive an exclusive TEA Learn Preview, providing a first look at the digital tools and resources available to support the ongoing implementation of these academies. Prepare to leave with actionable strategies and a deeper understanding of the vertical alignment necessary for K-5 math success.
