Math Video Training: Approaches to Practice and Problem Solving
Across all grade bands, volumes I and II of the Discover The Core On Demand Video library will introduce math teachers to the eight standards for math practice that underlie development of mathematical proficiency and explore specific strategies for implementing the standards in each grade. Volume III, “Problematic Problems,” explores the idea that, in all grades, increasing the complexity of problems rather than the quantity of them helps learners become better problem solvers.
ELA Video Training: Approaches to Deeper and Wider Exploration
Your ELA teachers across all grade bands know that it’s vital to teach their students to deepen their reading of key texts while expanding their understanding of the texts by using additional reference materials and sources of information. In “Going Beyond Book Reports,” teachers discover ways to break out of the book report format to help students acquire real-world research skills – as the CCSS requires. In “Going Beyond the Textbook,” teachers learn how text complexity is measured under the CCSS and how to evaluate support material for use in the lesson designs. In “Close Reading,” they’ll find a structured process to help their students get the most from the complex texts recommended by the CCSS.
