| Description | | The overarching message for NCTM's Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All is that effective teaching is the key to ensuring that all students learn mathematics. Research-based teaching practices that are essential for a high-quality mathematics education for all students are combined with core principles to build a successful program at all levels. Principles to Actions offers guidance to teachers, mathematics coaches, and administrators, parents, and policymakers. The session will include:
- Eight research-based essential Mathematics Teaching Practices
- Conditions, structures, and policies necessary to support the Effective Teaching Practices
- Implementation strategies for the state standards for middle school teachers
- Unproductive and productive beliefs, obstacles, and actions that must be understood, acknowledged, and addressed by all stakeholders
- Strategies for middle school teachers to engage students in mathematical thinking, reasoning, and sense making to significantly strengthen teaching and learning
This fast-paced, hands-on session will be presented by Daniel J. Brahier, professor of mathematics education at Bowling Green State University in Ohio who also serves as a middle school mathematics teacher. He has been a high school mathematics and science teacher, an administrator, a guidance counselor, and a curriculum consultant during his career. Brahier is the author of several books, including being a member of the writing team for NCTM’s book Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All that participants of the workshop will receive. The primary purpose of the presentation is to fill the gap between the adoption of the Nebraska mathematics standards and the enactment of practices and actions required for successful implementation of those standards at the middle school level.
