What classroom teacher hasn’t had a student who struggled with mathematics? Each of the many potential obstacles to successful mathematics achievement has implications for best teaching practices. This seminar focuses on the current evidence for cognitive sources of mathematical learning difficulties, predictors of future mathematics performance, and cognitive characteristics of children who have mathematics disabilities. We will focus on how knowledge of recent research empowers educators to become more astute observers of behaviors relevant to mathematical learning.
This seminar is free of charge. Registration is required and seating is limited.
