Upcoming Pearson Math Training for K, 1st, 2nd and 4th
Attention K, 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade teachers - I'll be speaking with the Pearson Math Rep planning this PD opportunity on Feb 22.
At this time, I am planning on focusing this PD on Questioning and Discussion Techniques. Questioning and discussion are the only instructional strategies specifically referred to in Danielson's Framework for Teaching reflecting their central importance to teachers' practice.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for the best topic to cover during this training.
