Through a hands-on learning opportunity, participants will experience the benefits of teaching through a gradual, systematic approach known as Concrete - Representational - Abstract. Aligned with the NCTM Standards, this approach makes learning accessible to all learners, helps students make connections when moving through levels of understanding, and helps students learn concepts before they learn rules. Not only does this approach enhance the academic understanding of your students, but you will see students exhibit more motivation and on-task behavior. Who doesn’t want that?!? Come join me as I help you experience how to bring this instructional approach to your own classroom!
