In this institute you will learn how to address all eight of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice within workshop model instruction. We will explore how explicit thinking strategy instruction can promote students’ deep mathematical understanding. Additionally we will discuss and model how to facilitate classroom discussions that support all learners, preparing them with the problem-solving skills they need to make meaning of math, succeed on standardized assessments, and face life’s many mathematical challenges.
 
Learning Objectives:
  • Explore how the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice can be seamlessly addressed within workshop model instruction
  • Investigate how to facilitate classroom discourse that promotes thinking and understanding
  • Experience mathematical problem solving in a collaborative context that you can replicate for students
  • Develop skills for differentiating and engaging all learners in purposeful and meaningful work as independent thinkers and mathematicians
  • Learn how to foster student independence by scaffolding their authentic use of thinking strategies as mathematicians

Includes

  • Certificate of attendance for CDE credit
  • Lunch each day
  • A copy of Minds on Mathematics by Wendy Ward Hoffer

As a staff developer, Emma brings a deep passion for culturally responsive and relevant pedagogy along with over a decade of experience as a teacher, instructional coach, curriculum writer, and facilitator to her work in schools. A strong advocate of data-driven, inquiry-based instruction, she believes that all children are capable of meeting rigorous goals in the classroom, especially when their identities, interests, and cultural backgrounds are intentionally integrated and elevated. Her mission is to help spread effective coaching and instructional practices to school leaders and educators and to help design efficient and sustainable structures to make teaching a life-long career.

Emma holds an MA in Teaching from Relay Graduate School of Education and a BA in Social & Cultural Analysis from New York University. She loves to bake, play volleyball, and spend time outdoors with her husband, daughter and dog.

 

Moker Klaus-Quinlan partners with teachers, teams, schools, and districts through coaching, facilitation, and professional learning.  Relentlessly asset-focused, she has worked with K-12 educators across all content areas, in Colorado and nationally, since 2003. . She leads the Effective Mentoring & Coaching Institute, co-facilitates the Math Institute, and is a designer/instructor for PEBC’s 45-hour CLDE relicensure course. She brings her experience teaching elementary and middle school, serving as a reading specialist, ELL/CLD coordinator, mentor teacher, instructional coach, and adjunct professor. Co-leader of PEBC’s Equitable Practices Initiative, Moker is passionate about engaging educators in the pursuit of student agency and equity and facilitating learning around culturally responsive/sustaining education practices.

Moker achieved National Board Certification in Early Adolescent English/Language Arts. She earned a Master’s degree in K-12 Literacy from California State University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from Brown University.  Moker loves rooting for her daughters at their sporting events and listening to audiobooks while walking her dogs.

Lab Classroom

Optional Lab Day on Friday, December 6th

Join us after the Institute to observe effective math instruction live and in person in a PEBC lab classroom. You will enjoy an artfully facilitated half day of learning, including a pre-brief with the lab host teacher, a full lesson observation, an opportunity to debrief and ask questions, lunch onsite, and most importantly, identifying tactical take-aways that you can implement in your own school or classroom the following week.
