Math, Literature, Problem Solving and the New Standards



Math, Literature, Problem Solving and the New Standards...a Perfect Match!

Teachers are the most important factor in student success, and, as professionals, they need support and training to be at the top of their game. Thousands of teachers are gearing up to implement the Common Core State Standards in their classrooms. Learners Advantage can help with this transition to the Common Core Standards by offering research-based workshops designed to help ensure a smooth and effective implementation.

Each workshop helps teachers deepen their understanding of scientifically based instruction, build upon their own content knowledge, and learn to implement best practices in their classrooms. Learners Advantage provides teachers with standards-based lessons, literature connections, proven strategies, and exciting activities using a hands-on, problem solving approach. We will help your teachers make connections to the GADOE Frameworks, while concentrating on the role of the teacher and how the CCGPS changes the way their students learn. We will also model what the student should be doing in mathematics, such as: learning from their errors, working cooperatively, using manipulatives, and “talking mathematically.”

Teachers are taken through the different activities as though they are the students, focusing on the strategies needed to master the Common Core. Literature, manipulatives, questioning techniques, student engagement and best practices are integral parts of the training and are used throughout the day with all activities. With customized training, teachers will leave our workshops with a greater understanding of content as well as practical tools and strategies for engaging students in learning.

Each participant will receive:

• Problem based activities/tasks

• Literature books with math connections

• Resource materials

• Lessons correlated to Common Core

• Manipulatives

• Practical ideas for classroom application.

• Learning center ideas
