What if your next professional development session could transform not just how educators teach math but how they conceptually understand it?

As educators, one of the biggest challenges we face is balancing the need to deepen our own mathematical understanding while effectively teaching students at various levels. This episode tackles how engaging in well-chosen math tasks during professional development can help strengthen educators’  conceptual understanding of mathematics, while also modeling strong facilitation techniques educators can bring back to your classroom.

• You'll discover how choosing the right math tasks for PD sessions can promote reasoning and problem-solving, boosting both your educators own proficiency and teaching practice.
• Learn how productive struggle with adults, when applied thoughtfully, can foster growth for teachers and translate into better learning outcomes for students.
• Explore strategies to facilitate rich mathematical discussions that encourage collaboration and multiple approaches to problem-solving, elevating your professional development experience.
