Regardless of grade level, there are four fundamental things educators must do for their students to experience math success.

1. Apply explicit instructional techniques effectively to both direct and inquiry-based instruction
2. Develop student use and understanding of mathematical vocabulary
3. Differentiate instruction easily and appropriately
4. Promote the active use of discourse strategies to deepen mathematical understanding

During this free webinar, CORE’s Director of Mathematics, Dean Ballard, will take a look at all four requirements and share tips and techniques to ensure they are all incorporated into math instruction.

Join us for this webinar and gain new insights on how to prepare students for math success.

When teachers have a range of evidence-based solutions at their fingertips, and a solid plan to effectively use them, they can better meet the needs of students who struggle with math.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn best practices and practical advice to support these students from CORE’s Director of Mathematics, Dean Ballard.

Dean reviews:

• • How to plan for and use time for intervention
  • What the focus of intervention time should be — foundational knowledge, today’s lesson, and/or tomorrow’s lesson?
  • How and what types of assessments to use
  • What materials to use for Interventions
  • Daily fluency work

Help accelerate math achievement with resources and strategies that ensure students receive instruction and supports appropriate to their individual needs.

Reading is a complex process that involves quickly and accurately recognizing words, understanding the meaning of words, and making sense of their meaning in context. Students identified with reading difficulties most often struggle with word reading.

During this on-demand webinar Dr. David A. Kilpatrick, author of Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties, discusses the importance of understanding the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems in order to accurately assess reading difficulties and implement effective interventions.

Watch the webinar to learn:

• How children learn to read words and why some struggle
• Why some commonly used intervention approaches provide limited benefits for weak readers
• Intervention approaches that studies have shown to yield very large reading gains for students with word reading difficulties

Since the 2017 Supreme Court ruling on Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District RE-1, many school districts have put a renewed focus on ensuring students with disabilities not only receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) but true educational equity.

During the webinar, Dr. Michelle Hosp, Associate Professor of Special Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Dr. Arun Ramanathan, CEO of Pivot Learning, examine special education in the post-Endrew environment. These experts share:

• Common challenges faced by school districts and educators in complying with the Endrew ruling
• An overview of why ambitious IEPs with clear goals are more important than ever
• Strategies for collecting and analyzing data to guide IEP goals and interventions
• Strategies for evaluating IEP goals across a district to ensure rigor and consistency
• The importance of professional learning for special education and general education teachers and paraprofessionals to create inclusive classroom where all students, including students with disabilities, can meet their educational goals

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into how other districts are setting high expectations for students with disabilities and supporting their progress toward meaningful goals.

Each school year, many students fall further and further behind in math. Often they don’t have solid number sense nor mastery of important grade level fluencies. Consequently, valuable time must be spent addressing these gaps rather than focusing on new concepts.

It is critical that educators possess the knowledge and skills to ensure that all of their students move to the next grade level with the necessary foundation in numbers and operations, so they can successfully master more challenging concepts.

During this webinar, CORE’s Director of Mathematics, Dean Ballard, discusses the importance of mathematical fluency and number sense in ensuring all students can meet rigorous mathematical standards.

Watch the webinar to learn:

• What are number sense and fluency, how are they related and why are they important?
• What are different paths toward fluency and number sense?
• What are important look-fors in the classroom?
• What role does developing fluency and number sense play with intervention and special education?

Dean provides recommendations for coaching teachers and specific activities to develop students’ mathematical fluency and number sense.
