Many students with academic difficulties struggle with word problem solving. Word problem solving requires reading, analysis, and computation. While keywords are popular, they are minimally effective. An empirically-validated approach is schema-based instruction (SBI). The focus of this session is to share SBI techniques and model the process using basic operations.
Developing proficiency with whole and rational numbers enables students to spend more energy learning complex math. The purpose of this session is to introduce specific empirically-validated strategies for developing conceptual understanding and computational fluency of whole and rational numbers.
Many students enter secondary mathematics classes without having established proficiency with whole and rational numbers. This lack of mastery increases students’ cognitive load when learning complex problems. The purpose of this session is to share methods for efficiently establishing computational fluency while teaching secondary math content.
Every word you hear, say, red, or write goes through the phonological system. Developing and enhancing children’s phonological skills is a vital aspect of literacy learning. Based on the current research, participants will learn the developmental sequences of phonological awareness. Instructional strategies include embedded routines and intentional activities for helping young children develop these important skills. Come learn how to best facilitate the learning needs of your students. Leave with strategies and ideas to take back your classroom tomorrow

Multiple research meta-analyses find that students who struggle the most in math benefit from explicit and systematic instruction. In this session, participants will learn to apply critical features of systematic math instruction. Content examples will range from number sense to whole and rational number operations.
