Summer PD for Math Instruction
A message from Seattle Public Schools
We will keep adding opportunities for PD as we find them so be sure to check the flyer for updates.
How to Learn Math
This course is FREE and offers important new research ideas on learning, the brain, and math that can transform students’ experiences with math. The course is primarily for teachers and parents and others who may help students with math. It consists of short videos interspersed with various thinking tasks—such as reflecting on videos, designing lessons, discussing ideas with peers in the class—to promote active engagement. The class features videos with leaders in education such as Carol Dweck, author of mindset theories, and Sebastian Thrun, CEO of Udacity.

Statistics Workshop for Mathematics & Science Teachers
Objectives:Support teaching of statistics within the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards through conceptual understanding, active learning, real-world data applications, and appropriate use of technology.
Content:Teachers will explore problems that require them to formulate questions, collect, organize, analyze, and draw conclusions from data and apply basic concepts of probability. The MWM program will include examining what students can be expected to do at the most basic level of understanding and what can be expected of them as their skills develop and their experience broadens. Participants will explore informal and formal formative assessments. Content is consistent with Common Core State Standard, GAISE recommendations, and Next Generation Science Standards.
