Are you looking for a support group of peers and other mathematics education leaders?
Are you interested in developing and/or deepening your skills at creating student-centered collaborative activities to increase the level and variety of engagement in your classroom?
If so, we invite you to participate in the Dana Center’s FOCI Series 2: Strengthening the Classroom Experience–Creating mathematical tasks that are worthy of collaborative effort
In this FOCI series of six sessions, you will engage in a scaffolded process of identifying characteristics of effective group-worthy tasks and implementing existing tasks. You will also design, implement, and improve your own tasks to deepen learning, particularly in classrooms with students from diverse backgrounds and mathematics preparation. You will develop facilitation instructions for activities to promote effective sharing of tasks within departments or regions. This work will include collaborating with cross-institutional peers and preparing to collaborate with others in the future.
