Workshops

About the Instructor:

Stefanie (Buckner) Hill will be facilitating this workshop. She is the K-12 Math Specialist for Buncombe County Schools and the current president-elect of NCCTM. Stefanie worked on the NC2ML statewide collaborative for 4th level math courses and presented a very similar workshop this fall to her RESA - WRESA.

Description:

In this session of 4 workshops, we will breakdown and explore some of the new Math 4 standards. Each session will concentrate on a large idea from Math 4 standards where we will unpack the standards together and then participate in learning activities from the statewide collaboratively designed Math 4 curriculum. Participants will have the time to participate as a virtual student and ask pedagogical and logistical questions about the standards and curriculum. The sessions will all be independent but for a holistic view of the course, participants should consider attending all four.
Our focus for the months will be as follows:

January 21- Functions: Logarithms
February 18 - Functions: Trigonometry
March 18 --> moved to March 25 - Statistics: Large Data and Distributions
April 22- Statistics: Inferential Statistics

Phonological awareness is the often forgotten skill in early literacy. Join us as we dig deeper into the why and explore where phonological awareness lives within the PK developmental indicators and the reading foundational state standards. You will walk away with instructional strategies and resources that can be used within daily instruction

In person with CDC Guidelines of wearing a mask and social distancing

This session will build teachers’ toolboxes with math intervention strategies for small group instruction. Based on students’ needs, the strategies presented will build conceptual understanding and fluency skills. Manipulatives and models will be integrated throughout the professional learning. These intervention strategies will be based on concepts from the NC Standards for the grade spans, K-2 and 3-5. Join this session to learn new avenues to reach students’ varied learning needs and walk away with small group interventions for your math classroom.

In this session, we will discuss effective ways to design remote learning experiences that don’t require students to be in front of a screen the entire school day. We will explore how instructional strategies and tools, like brain breaks and podcasts, can maximize the time our students spend in front of, and away from, their screens.

As we return to in-person learning, connect and share with educators around strategies to support students who are navigating conflicting emotions. Many students will be excited to see their peers but also may be worried about family members who have been sick. Walk in your student’s shoes and learn about strategies for balancing content and well being.
