Focusing on What Matters Most: Meeting Student Needs through a Cycle of Inquiry
Overview:
In this three part series with Student Achievement Partners, you will experience and understand the tools, practices, and processes for completing a teaching and learning cycle of inquiry to determine and act on where students are in their mathematical understanding in order to finish the school year strong.
Part one (sessions 1 & 2) will guide you through a cycle of inquiry examining priority content in your grade or course and planning for assessment that makes student thinking visible so you will know what students understand and what understanding they need additional instruction on.
Part two (session 3) will include time to consider strategies that support student learning using student work.
Part three (session 4) concludes with analyzing the results of instruction based on evidence of student learning so next steps can be taken. In this session participants will also reflect on the teaching and learning cycle of inquiry and how it can be incorporated into regular practice throughout the school year.
During all sessions participants will engage with ideas to support students’ social, emotional and academic development. After attending all sessions you will walk away with a practical process to understand student thinking, plan instruction, and analyze student learning.

Actions for Equitable Math Instruction for ALL
Overview:
Schools must function to provide each and every student with the opportunity to engage in rigorous and relevant mathematics in such a way that they become confident and successful doers of math. What structures and supports provide equitable math instruction for students? What do teachers need to enhance instructional practice? What established practices are currently in place within your system to ensure all students are learning mathematics?
Join the Math Institute and the WI RtI center to discover answers to these questions. Examine systems and structures that support students and teachers in a high quality math classroom. This two day virtual workshop will focus on strong Tier 1 instruction in mathematics. Utilize this learning opportunity to look closely at district structures to see where changes are needed to achieve positive, equitable mathematics learning experiences for all students. Discover school and classroom based strategies that promote student understanding of mathematics in Tier 1 instruction.

Math Foundations
Overview:
After a year full of stops and starts, it has become clear that flexibility is more important than ever when it comes to teaching and learning. The same is true for professional learning, which is why we have reimagined our Summer Institutes to offer our most customizable summer courses ever.
This summer we are going back to basics with seven new mini courses designed to ground you in the most important foundational math concepts. Each course will explore a major math content area where students struggle most, while empowering you with the tools and confidence you need to make informed decisions in your math classroom.
Comprised of just two virtual half days, these mini courses are designed to be a manageable way to engage in meaningful math learning from anywhere. Choose the courses that work best for you and get ready to refresh your math content knowledge without changing your summer plans.
