Applying Response to Intervention (RTI) in Mathematics to Support ALL Learners (General)
Presenter: David Pugalee , University of North Carolina, Charlotte, NC
|
February 9
4–5pm ET*
Register |
| Response to Intervention (RTI) is a system through which early detection, prevention, and support identifies and assists students who are struggling. This session will describe how this approach applies to mathematics and provide an overview on how the system promotes mathematics instruction that enables students to develop an understanding of content. The process of developing a three-tiered approach for mathematics intervention will be illustrated. (top)

Effective Mathematics Instruction: The Role of Mathematical Tasks (General)
Presenter: Margaret S. Smith , University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA |
February 24, 2010
4-5pm ET*
Register |
This seminar will focus on the relationship between the nature of the mathematical tasks in which students engage and what students ultimately learn about what mathematics is and how one does it. Specifically, the seminar will focus on the cognitive demands of mathematical tasks, how these demands can change during instruction, and why maintaining the high level demands of tasks is critical to student learning. Participants will have opportunity to engage in an analysis of two tasks, to analyze several short vignettes of classroom instruction, and to consider research that makes salient the impact of tasks on learning.
