It is very hard to shift your teaching FROM a teacher-focused lesson, with you doing all the instruction and kids just listening TO more of a student-centered lesson where kids think, discuss, debate, & wonder while you facilitate the mathematical learning.
That’s where the pillars of The Flexibility Formula come in. By focusing on The Flexibility Formula pillars you will help kids build their math minds and not just create calculators, by seeing math as something that can’t be taught….it’s caught.
All the speakers in the summit are here to help you as you shift your teaching. Each speaker addresses at least one of The Flexibility Formula pillars. The pillars are explained in more detail in your Summit Workbook.
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.
Pamela D. Tabor, international speaker, lead author of Corwin’s new Math Recovery Series book, Numeracy for All Learners: Teaching Mathematics to Students with Special Needs, and co-author of Corwin’s bestselling book, Developing Number Knowledge: Assessment, Teaching & Intervention with 7—11-Year Olds, became the Research and Evaluation Specialist for the US Math Recovery Council in 2017 after nearly two decades as a school-based elementary math specialist in Maryland. Pam holds a Ph.D. in mathematics education from Southern Cross University in New South Wales, Australia, and has been involved in the development of several professional learning experiences covering assessment and instruction from a constructivist perspective in the domain of numeracy. In her spare time, she volunteers at church and with DNAadoption.org teaching others to use genetic genealogy to identify birth families, reads on a wide array of topics and genres, and gently coaxes her planted fish aquarium into precarious balance.
