Algebra: All Aboard! (A3)
http://www.rsvpbook.com/event.php?420325
This multi-faceted approach to teaching Algebra encourages students
of all learning styles to master the big ideas and concepts. During
five days in the summer and three fall follow-ups, teachers will
apply the latest research to curricular and instructional
strategies. Participants will practice using technology,
manipulatives, vocabulary strategies, various representations,
communication and connections to enhance student learning for all
students. Many of the strategies and ideas gained can be used as
interventions for struggling students. Participants will leave with
a toolbox of over $800 worth of instructional materials to use
immediately as they return to the classroom!
Understanding Fraction Concepts
http://www.rsvpbook.com/event.php?446001
Understanding Fraction Concepts (UFC) takes a conceptual approach to
teaching fractions versus the procedural approach that textbooks
provide. Participants will learn how to organize instruction using
multiple concrete models and applying fraction ideas to real world
situations so students develop a deep, conceptual understanding of
fractions.
Styles & Strategies for Teaching Mathematics and Science
http://www.uky.edu/P12MathScience/
During this two-day workshop, participants will be introduced to The
Thoughtful Classroom learning style model and will explore a number
of powerful research-based instructional strategies to engage and
motivate all styles of learners. The learning style model allows
math and science teachers to easily incorporate differentiated
learning experiences into daily lessons and unit plans.
Additionally, teachers will leave with a variety of strategies that
help them meet the needs of all learners in the classroom.
OPERATION: Basic Math
http://www.rsvpbook.com/event.php?403480
During the session participants will learn unique and motivational
strategies that can be used as interventions to help students who
struggle with the foundational concepts that are included in the
Kentucky Big Idea of Number, Properties and Operations. Participants
will leave with a variety of ways to assist students with being
successful in learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division. Each participant receives $200 worth of training materials
so they may return to their school and immediately implement the
learned strategies including a tote bag containing game cards, base
ten blocks, number cubes, dice and other manipulatives!
Lens on Mathematical Learning

Do your students struggle with certain math concepts and you are
unsure why? Are you aware of the learning difficulties that students
might have for the concepts in math you teach as you are designing
assessments and identifying learning experiences? CTS is a set of
resources developed through a grant from the National Science
Foundation that can be used over time by PLCs and teachers to answer
these key questions and provide insight into these critical
instruction design questions. Join the P-12 Math and Science
Outreach Unit of PIMSER at the University of Kentucky as we host
this two-day workshop to discover how CTS can be a resource for
helping teachers and their professional learning communities at
school better meet their student’s needs. The facilitators
(Appalachian Teacher Partners) will share their first-hand knowledge
of how CTS has impacted not only how they have designed instruction,
but also the resulting student learning.
The Power of Learning Targets
http://www.uky.edu/P12MathScience/
What does it look like when balanced assessment is implemented
effectively in the classroom? What are the student learning results?
How did learning targets drive this transformation? Join us for this
two-day session to see how two Kentucky teachers have transformed
their classroom using the Classroom Assessment for Student Learning
model for balanced assessment.
