with Pamela Seda
This session begins in
Dr. Pamela Seda presents a transformative approach to math assessment that bridges EQUITY and OBSERVING through her ICU CARE framework and single-point rubric system. Through concrete examples and clear implementation steps, you will learn how to create assessment practices that both honor students' diverse backgrounds and provide meaningful insights into their mathematical understanding.
I’ve made it easy for you to take the information and inspiration from the virtual math summit sessions and implement it into your classroom so that you can start to become a Recovering Traditionalist. Capture all the amazing ideas, take notes and plan what the next steps are that you’ll put in place in your classroom with your Virtual Math Summit Workbook. If you registered for the VMS Summit you already received this resource via email. If you are watching this session and have not registered, do so now and get the Summit Workbook.
At the END of the Virtual Math Summit, we will email summit registrants a link to a Certificate Request form. We do this so that your sessions can be consolidated into one certificate. If you are watching this session but never registered for the Virtual Math Summit and you want a certificate and the VMS Workbook, click the button below to register and ensure you receive the emails about certificates.
