Project IMPACT
5 Session Series
Project IMPACT
It is a teacher professional development initiative recommended by ODE that provides grades K-2 teachers with strategies to improve their use of inquiry-based instructional practices and to increase their mathematics content knowledge.
Through IMPACT, teachers explore rich tasks that emphasize mathematical processes and challenge students to understand mathematics more deeply.
Specific program content includes:
- Instruction focused on number, number operations, numeracy, and the concept of equality;
- Research-based presentation and engagement strategies that encourage inquiry learning;
- How to use a balanced approach between teacher and student-centered mathematics instruction;
- Experience with rich, problem-solving tasks and applications that develop a deeper understanding of how to differentiate content, process, and product when building new mathematical knowledge;
- Development of a deeper understanding of formative assessment to perceive student thinking and misconceptions;
- How to build on student thinking to guide and plan for instruction; and,
- Opportunities to share successes and challenges in implementing the instruction with students.
