Registration for this PD Conference is now officially CLOSED. If you would like to register, there may still be a few spaces available for additional participants. Please contact Liza Scallet (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) as soon as possible if you wish to reserve a space.
This session will focus on implementing Mathematical Modeling to develop students' understanding and productive disposition towards mathematics. Participants will be immersed in rich problem solving and STEM integrated modeling tasks that promote the 21st century competencies which require students to apply their knowledge in realistic, problem-solving situations. The workshop will also engage teachers and math leaders in designing meaningful mathematical modeling tasks that focus on proportional reasoning, data analysis, and problem solving while focusing on high-leverage practices for teachers. Participants will also explore the important teaching and performance-based assessment strategies that are used with this problem-based learning approach to mathematics instruction. The presenters will provide a virtual follow-up session.
