This 5-day course is a research-based professional learning opportunity for educators of students with moderate to significant disabilities who participate in the alternate assessment. Educators will learn the “Components of Number Sense” model in order to make strong mathematical connections and practice applying math concepts rather than relying on procedural methods. Dr. Christopher Cain will present a way of understanding and teaching mathematics to struggling students - from building the understanding of number to developing understanding of function – that will challenge and enhance teachers’ current thinking about mathematics education.
