K-5 Eureka Math Squared: TEACH
Monday September 23, 2024 8:30am - 3:30pm EDT
Bethesda Elementary School Media Center
This session is intended for teachers who have not yet been to a 3-hour or full-day training session during summer SPLASH or SPLASH planning days.In this one-day session, participants study the content of a common module, topic, and lesson by using the recommended process of previewing the learning, investigating the development of learning, and exploring the assessment. Participants use the knowledge gained from their study to prepare a lesson for instruction. They explain how studying supports them in thinking about connections between content while planning so they can make those connections visible when teaching, helping students to access grade-level content by relating new learning to prior knowledge. Participants apply the process to study a module, topic, and lesson at their own grade level. Participants will leave this session having prepared and practiced a lesson they will teach.
