Schema-Based Mathematics Instruction Learning Series (VDOE TTAC at GMU)

Description:

Schema-based instruction is an evidence-based mathematics instructional strategy proven to help all students – including students with disabilities – solve practical problems, such as word problems. This learning series is designed to support teachers and instructional leaders with understanding how to implement the strategy in the classroom throughout Tier 1 whole group instruction, Tier 2 small group instruction, & Tier 3 specially-designed instruction, with emphasis on vertically articulating the strategy across all grade levels.

Participants are invited to attend the session(s) that are applicable to their professional practice and will be given two possible day/times to choose from for each session. Please register for each session you plan to attend.

The series will include three sessions, each targeting differing levels of complexity. 

Session 1 will focus on additive schemas for grades K-2.

• Session 1: Register for Wednesday, February 7, 2024: 9:00am-10:00am
• OR
• Session 1: Register for Thursday, February 8, 2024: 4:15pm- 5:15pm

Session 2 will focus on additive and multiplicative schemas for grades 3-6.

• Session 2: Register for Wednesday, February 21, 2024: 9:00am-10:00am
• OR
• Session 2: Register for Thursday, February 22, 2024: 4:15pm-5:15pm

Session 3 will focus on applying prior knowledge of additive and multiplicative schemas to solve more complex problems.

• Session 3: Register for Wednesday, March 6, 2024: 9:00am-10:00am
• OR
• Session 3: Register for Thursday, March 7, 2024: 4:15pm-5:15pm
