Building Teacher Capacity - Professional Development Courses
Carnegie Learning offers two, five-day, Professional Development Courses to mathematics instructors using Carnegie Learning's curricula with the objective to provide a profound understanding of the appropriate fundamental mathematical knowledge and pedagogy they need at each grade level.
Ultimately, the teachers will be able to connect what they have learned to help their students develop both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. Each course employs a blended curriculum using both print and software components. The print materials are designed around collaborative problem solving activities.
- Developing Mathematical Understanding, Grades 4-5
The main emphasis of this course is to develop a conceptual understanding of number and operations with a major emphasis on whole numbers - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Participants will explore the relationships between the operations and various models that can be used to help students master the concepts. Participants will also work to develop a robust conceptual understanding of fractions and their operations.
- Developing Algebraic Thinking, Grades 6-8
The main emphasis of this course is to develop a conceptual understanding of number and operations with a major emphasis on multiple representations, ratio, rates, proportional reasoning and linear functions.
