Focusing on acceleration to grade-level learning is critical while planning for math instruction. How do we focus on students’ needs and plan lessons that provide access to grade-level concepts? Join this program to learn best practices for re-engaging students in prior learning for success with grade-level concepts. This one-day program will explain the guidance from NCTM among others and demonstrate a planning protocol that will empower teachers to design acceleration lessons with confidence. This program is intended for math teachers and instructional coaches in grades 3-8.  Bonnie Bolado from NCCAT will be leading this workshop.
