Professional Development Opportunities

Posted by mf945 on March 23, 2021

Arizona K12 Center Math Institute

Through high-quality professional development, the Arizona K12 Center helps educators improve teaching skills and enhance leadership abilities. During the pandemic, it more important than ever to stay connected and receive support from other educators.

You still have time to registers for the April 27 session of GEAR UP Math Institute. This session is the last of a series, but it will give you a taste of more to come this summer. During this learning opportunity, you will begin to form a learning community and prepare for the upcoming Summer Math Institute, which will begin in June. But hurry, you must register for this opportunity by April 12.

And, don’t stop there. Go ahead and enroll in the GEAR UP Summer Math Institute hosted by the Arizona K12 Center, which begins June 28. The 3-day virtual series is designed for middle school and high school math teachers looking for ways to enhance and strengthen pre-algebra and algebra instruction.

Math Institute Overview

  • Day 1: Joseph Assof, whose classroom was featured in Visible Learning in Mathematics, will show you how to design high-impact instruction, so students excel in math and exceed typical expectations.
  • Day 2: Olivia Amador, co-author of The Teacher Clarity Playbook, will build from Day 1. You will align lessons, objectives, and outcomes into seamless learning—discover how your classroom hours flow for everyone.
  • Day 3: John San Giovanni, author of Productive Struggle, will teach you how to value and harness student struggles as you help students develop good habits.

You will come away from the GEAR UP Math Institute with many new strategies to implement during your algebra planning and instruction. In addition, you will develop new skills to help you build a successful learning community and strategies that will help you identify and address the diverse needs of students as you help them learn and master algebra. To help ensure high impact for all students, you will plan vertical instruction across all grade levels.

Registration for the three-day virtual institute is $50, and this includes all materials, a copy of the Professional Learning Plan, and a copy of each of the books used in the course. For more information or to register, visit the Arizona K12 Center.
