Math on the “Planes”® February 2013
and June 2013 Conferences
Welcome to new and returning district and building-level intervention teams including general and special education math teachers, instructional leaders, and interventionists. In addition to CCLD’s ongoing professional development, the Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Education is presenting a series of regional workshops designed to support teachers in building readiness for implementing Colorado’s revised mathematics standards.

RATE CODE: Math on the “Planes”
Numeracy and Proportional Reasoning:
Assessment and Instruction
Dr. Mary Pittman, CDE Mathematics Specialist will be the speaker for the February workshop. Participants of this interactive-workshop will develop a deeper understanding of the foundations of numeracy (including the concepts of proportional reasoning and spatial-visualization) and learn ways to assess these concepts within the Colorado Academic Standards. By the end of the two-day workshop, participants will be prepared to use a free screener/diagnostic assessment tool with their students and interpret results to better inform instruction and intervention practices.
Participants in the summer boot camp will bring assessment data collected after the February workshop. This assessment data will guide discussions about the development of numeracy for all students. The Colorado Academic Standards and current research on student thinking/problem solving will be the foundation for learning about evidenced-based instructional strategies for struggling mathematics learners.
Credit: Participants may receive a certificate for licensure hours OR college credit. More details to follow about a possible Math Intervention Certificate for those who attend the February workshop, math boot camp, and at least one day of the additional opportunities. Participation in the February workshop and collection of student data are prerequisites for attending the summer boot camp.
