If you or an educator you know is looking to see the IM curriculum at the elementary grades in action, this is an opportunity to join other educators for a day in a live classroom around a common area of practice. This learning site on 10/29/24 places the question of “How do we implement IM in an elementary classroom to create inclusive, student centered math learning experiences?” within the context of a diverse classroom. Come see a 3rd grade math class, led by Kayla Cantu (3rd grade teacher) and Liz Bishop (ESL Teacher), where students are engaging in grade level, complex IM tasks. After the observation, educators have a chance to think through and debrief with the host teachers around the hows and whys of their teaching practice with follow up coaching sessions for an ALC/PDPs.
