Program: Professional Development

Audience: K-12 teachers, teacher leaders, math coaches, and administrators

Dates: 10/17/2023 to 3/13/2024

The Center for Professional Development and Education Reform, in partnership with Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES, is once again offering an opportunity for teachers, teacher leaders, math coaches, and administrators to come together to learn, share resources and ideas, and provide support to each other as we work to successfully implement high-quality mathematics instruction for K-12 students. Research shows that "each student's success in mathematics is greatly influenced by the opportunities and support for learning provided by teachers” (Yeh et al., 2017, p. vii). Historically, teachers have seen mathematics as memorization and procedures, with little to no sense-making by students within the classroom. These traditional mathematics practices create inequities for students. This year's Cadre will continue our commitment to bring research to practice as we focus on challenging notions of traditional mathematics education. The following principles will guide our work: (1) teach toward the understanding of powerful mathematics, (2) view students as sense makers with valuable, important ideas, and (3) nurture a mathematics community of learners (Yeh et al., 2017, p.viii).

**Note: Participants will complete approximately 2 hours of asynchronous work between sessions.

Morning Beverages and Lunch will be provided.

Today, there are many individuals who may benefit from AAC but are not currently using AAC systems due to access and opportunity barriers. Through years of research, SLPs have studied numerous ways these barriers can be overcome, including providing education for communication partners. This course will address some of the common misconceptions about AAC and employ research-based strategies for improving access to robust AAC for current and potential AAC users.
