May 11 & 12: Teaching the Youcubed Summer Camp Curriculum (2-day in-person workshop)
2023-05-11 - 2023-05-12
Join Jo Boaler and the youcubed team to learn about our camp that has been implemented widely by teachers and shown to significantly improve students’ mathematics understanding! This workshop focuses on the curriculum and teaching approach developed by youcubed that improved students’ scores on standardized mathematics tests by an average of 50% (equivalent to 2.8 years of school). A study of teachers implementing the program across the US showed a significant increase in student mathematics achievement after camp and in the following school year. The workshop content is appropriate for anyone interested in running a youcubed-inspired summer camp or using a Mathematical Mindset teaching approach during the school year. Participants will receive a copy of the camp curriculum, which is available for grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-9.

May 9 & 10: Teaching Mathematics through Big Ideas in the Middle Years (2-day in-person workshop)

Learn how to engage all students through rich activities and mathematical connections!
This 2-day, in-person workshop focuses on Grades 6-8 but is appropriate for any teacher, leader or administrator in the middle years of K-12 education. We explore the Big Ideas for this grade level and how to use them to teach students in an engaging way, while covering all relevant mathematical standards.

Workshop run by Dr Jo Boaler & Cathy Williams
Includes lunch and a light breakfast each day
Participants receive certificate verifying 10 Professional Development Hours (1 CEU)

May 3: Teaching Mathematics through Big Ideas in the Middle Years (1-day online workshop)
2023-05-03
Big Ideas raise individual standards to a higher level so that students can learn mathematics as a meaningful subject of connected ideas. This approach has been shown by research to engage students and increase achievement and is the best approach for teaching heterogeneous groups of students. In this 1-day live online event, we explore the Big Ideas for this grade level and how to use them to teach students in an engaging way, while covering all relevant mathematical standards. The workshop focuses on Grades 6-8 but is appropriate for any teacher, leader or administrator in the middle years of K-12 education. Participants will receive a certificate verifying 5 Professional Development Hours (.5 CEU).
