Core Mathematics for ECE, Elementary & Special Educators
with Kathryn Schamu
Educators will dive into core math domains using research-based, inclusive strategies and engage in rich discussions focused on fostering asset‑based mindsets and addressing common student misconceptions. Participants will then apply their learning to design a custom lesson plan they can confidently implement in the fall.
Jump into a vibrant community of educators this summer and supercharge your math content knowledge in alignment with Colorado Department of Education (CDE) preparation standards. This hands-on professional learning experience combines dynamic, research-informed strategies with lively collaboration, giving you new ways to break down key math concepts and better anticipate where students may need extra support. You’ll walk away energized and equipped with a custom-designed lesson plan—ready to roll out in your classroom this fall.
Audience: Practicing and non-practicing ECE, elementary, and special educators who want to deepen their math content knowledge while learning research-backed, inclusive pedagogy
