Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) frameworks are utilized across the nation. RTI is a component of MTSS and currently ranks near the top of influences in the Visible Learning research and can triple the speed of learning. Success in these models can vary between districts and schools dependent upon how the framework is designed and implemented. In this session, you learn about how about how the Visible Learning Research and mainframes are interwoven with an effective MTSS framework.
In this session, we’ll explore the power of problem-based lessons and how they can be used as a formative assessment tool. In specific, we’ll look at the structure of 3-Act Math Tasks and how they can be used to support conceptual understanding and application of mathematical ideas. By working through multiple tasks, we’ll identify some purposeful moves that can take place throughout a lesson and how you can implement these tasks in your classroom. (Grades K-6)
There are many things to consider when we engage students in mathematics. What makes our task extremely difficult is that we teach a specific age of students that function and think in multiple grade levels. This makes differentiation seem impossible but it doesn’t need to always feel this way. Come explore how the purposeful use and sequence of the right tasks can unlock what students know and inform our next move in the progression of learning. (Grades 2-6)
Many times throughout the course of a year, we teach a lesson and the understanding goes out with the trash because student retention is minimal. What only makes things worse is that all the misconceptions we thought we addressed resurface towards the end of a unit. Let’s explore how task selection can play a pivotal role in building math residue. Mathematical residue helps understanding stick and it reduces the number of times that misconceptions rear their ugly head. (Grades K-6)
