Who Should Attend?

Classroom Teachers, Interventionists, Special Educators, and Coaches

At A Glance:

How do we close the gap for the many students who are currently struggling with great amounts of unfinished learning in math? How can a student show progress in both their readiness goals as well as current grade-level content?

This 2 day mini series will provide research-based routines, structures, and practices for small group instruction, especially in Tier III specialized learning scenarios.

Participants will gain tangible strategies for implementing rapid cycles of targeted instruction while linking a more explicit relationship between what's happening in Tier III and its impact on Tier I core math class.

Sessions will explore how to overcome challenges associated with dyscalculia, finger agnosia, and other content-related delays. Each session will offer focused plans related to specific content.

Teachers will leave with explicit routines that ultimately close the gap from “readiness” to “grade-level.”

Objectives:

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

✅ Improve a clearer connection and transfer between what happens at Tier III and Tier I

✅ Use "Thin Slicing" to close the gap between unfinished learning and grade-level expectations

✅ Use Cognitive Load Reduction Theory to implement concrete routines during shorter small group instructional blocks

✅ Dig deeper into the neuroscience behind numeracy
