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.
