Event Groups:
• Gallia-Vinton ESC - ESC Events
Description:

It's happening...VIRTUALLY! 

Roadmap for Mathematical Success 2020

Who should attend?  District Leaders, Building Leaders, K-6 Math Teachers and Intervention Specialists 

 

THE PLAN: 

Come and experience a unique virtual training with Kim Sutton about how to teach powerful mathematics with elementary learners!  You will receive a handout, tool kit and philosophy to motivate even the most reluctant young mathematicians!  Kim will share powerful activities, literature, games and music that are the cornerstone to her success AND navigate ways to build fluency and number sense and operation skills in a traditional and blended learning environment.   

Especially during the uncertainty of how students will return in the fall, this will be a great opportunity to navigate ways to provide quality instruction, whether in the traditional, blended or remote environment.  This training is intended to help teachers implement math routines that will put our early learners on the right path in their education. Kim Sutton has been given the task to create an enjoyable math training that will continue the work YOU began in September.  If you are new to the training, it is okay!  Kim will model strategies to help close your gap to catch up with those educators that were able to attend.  Isn't this what you will be asked to do upon returning to school? Together, we will figure this out! 

What dates should I attend?

PreK-Grade 3:  June 10 and 11

Grades 4-6: June 10 and 12

Critical Math Tools 

Introduction to Kim Sutton’s Math Philosophy for the Elementary Classroom

This course is designed for educators that were not able to attend the training in September  and as a refresher for those that did! I encourage everyone to attend this training to learn how to create and use resources that are provided in the tool kit and to become comfortable with the virtual setting.

Best Practices with All Standards Kim Sutton’s FUN workshop for PK-6

This session will focus on how to take short amounts of time in the teaching day to establish routines with math activities that build strength in number sense including areas like place value, number properties, proportional reasoning, fact fluency and mental math.  This is really powerful for face to face teaching AND virtual teaching.The strategies that Kim has developed are proven to motivate and create constant reinforcement of skills for all students. Participants will be actively involved in constructing and using math tools that deepen their understanding of the fundamentals of math instruction. All of the strategies will be connected to the math standards of all participants. Kim will model how she uses every minute in the classroom to keep students actively involved in thinking and reinforcing important concepts. Her strategies are all ready to use.
