Upcoming Workshop: Best Practices for Math Intervention with Brad Witzel, Ph.D.

Recent research connects struggles with math proficiency to gaps in early numeracy. These gaps cause difficulties with more advanced math concepts that build on these prerequisite skills.

In this interactive training, participants will learn mathematical progressions and practice hands-on, evidence-based approaches specific to K-12 mathematics content. Come explore the tasks of mathematics interventionists for helping students catch-up in their math proficiency as we discover:
• Research–supported approaches for students struggling in mathematics
• The roles of math intervention across multiple grade levels
• A formative assessment strategy to target student needs
• Concrete-Visual-Abstract approaches
• Application of number lines and the area model to constructs from counting to polynomials and factoring
• Explicit and systematic instruction
• Retention tasks to reduce learning loss of students

Audience: K-12 Math Interventionists
