Summer Math Training Opportunity
LSS will be offering a full day of training from Houghton-Mifflin consultants on Math Expressions Common Core Edition during the summer. The training will be held on Tuesday, July 21 from 8:00-3:00 and will be grade level specific. Details on location will be coming soon. You will receive a special daily rate for attending, but if you are unable to attend the July date, there will be a make-up date scheduled in August. Since Math Expressions has been taught in our district for a while, this training will be specifically designed to highlight the changes in the Common Core edition, how to use the resources available to support your instruction, and how to manage the resources found in Think Central. We hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to learn! Please RSVP as soon as you can so that we can reserve our trainers for the day with the following link:
