Calling all new and experienced users of Open Up Resources 6–8 Math: we have more virtual learning opportunities for you this summer led by our Teacher Leader in Residence, Morgan Stipe.
The Summer Series held in June will have three coaching sessions focused on: building classroom communities as the new school year begins; making the best use of technology; and effectively implementing Math Language Routines (MLRs).
In August, the Lesson Demo Series will be a collaborative workshop that takes a deeper dive into the curriculum through expansive lesson demos. Each session will focus on a single grade level - 6, 7 and 8.
You also won’t want to miss the Virtual Book Study: The 5 Practices that will take closer look at Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions, Second Edition through six, one-hour sessions this September - November.
Read more about each session below and sign up today!
