Join the MVP team for four fabulous days of learning in Utah!

June 12-13: Diving In to Open Up High School Mathematics

Diving In is an in-person workshop focusing on teaching with the Comprehensive Mathematics Instruction (CMI) Framework and using the Effective Teaching Practices, Standards for Math Practice, and the Five Practices for Facilitating Discourse to revolutionize mathematics teaching and learning. Teachers will learn to use the Teaching Cycle-based lesson design to help students develop procedural fluency with conceptual understanding by doing a deep-dive of Unit One. This workshop will provide teachers with an introduction to meaningful learning progressions found in the curriculum and will also demonstrate how these materials capture the vision of the core standards for High School Mathematics.

June 14-15: Asset Based Perspectives: Investing in Students’ Mathematical Funds of Knowledge

This two-day professional learning opportunity will examine research-based practices that create equity and access for all students.  Participants will work specifically on teacher practices that provide access to rigorous mathematics and encourage productive perseverance as well as maintain the cognitive demand of the mathematical task.  Participants will learn formative assessment practices, along with when and how to provide intervention for struggling learners.

We will engage with classroom routines and language acquisition strategies that support English learners and other academic language learners in the classroom, including sentence frames, graphic organizers, and specific discussion structures.  We will work to build teacher capacity for orchestrating mathematical discourse and building a language-rich environment.

Participants will be engaged in doing mathematics and experiencing new teaching strategies throughout the workshop.  There will be opportunities to share classroom experience and deepen understanding of Open Up High School Mathematics.
