Got PL?
We are thrilled to share with you four excellent professional learning opportunities.
First, our very own 2019 Math+Literacy Summer Institute: Engaging Students in the Processes of Math and Literacy will be held July 24 and 25 in Charlottesville. Register now and get the early bird rate until May 31: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2019-mathliteracy-summer-institute-tickets-60689359508
Here’s what participants said about our previous summer institutes:
- “I thought both days of the conference were great! Kateri and Alisha were very well prepared, and I greatly appreciated how they used their expertise and real experience as teachers in the field to guide the conference. I also thought the resources, activities, and discussions were all extremely applicable to actual teaching. I have not found a professional development opportunity before that specifically gears its content towards math and literacy together, so that was also a very helpful experience for me!”
- “It was wonderful! Best conference I attended this summer! I felt engaged and had many opportunities to participate and ask questions. Lots of turn and talk time and also there were many examples, which is critical for my understanding of a new topic.”
- “The material was directly related to what I need for my students. The presenters were very informative and helpful! I gained a lot of materials and ideas to take back to my peers and use in my classroom.”
- “Very interactive, helpful resources, relaxed atmosphere, helpful leaders!”
- “The sharing of resources and materials will be really beneficial to all who attended, and by extension, to their schools.”
- “I was very impressed by the efforts made to help everyone tailor the content and strategies to their setting.”

Can’t wait till July? We also have three math-focused resources:
Want to catch a glimpse into our classrooms? You can read about and watch videos of our classrooms in the Teaching Mathematics in the Visible Learning Classroom, K-2 and 3-5 books.
In April, Kateri co-led a webinar for Corwin on Teaching Mathematics in the Visible Learning Classroom, K-12. You can watch the recording for free at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKq2JIErVFQ&feature=youtu.be
On May 21 at 9pm, Kateri will be leading another webinar for the Global Math Department called Math Buddies: Effective Peer Tutoring. Register for free at https://www.bigmarker.com/GlobalMathDept/Math-Buddies-Effective-Peer-Tutoring
We hope these resources inspire you to learn more about the ways we can effectively engage students in communication, representation, connections, problem solving, and reasoning in both math and literacy! Register for the Summer Institute now! We can’t wait to spend two days with you!
