Summer Professional Development Workshops from NCTM
When students struggle productively, outcomes improve.
Supporting students' productive struggle in a post-Covid learning environment is an essential teaching practice in addressing unfinished learning as described in the American Rescue Plan. By engaging in productive struggle, students learn to persevere through challenging problems to reach successful outcomes. They remain engaged in finding the pathway to solutions, building their understanding of math, and learning to make deeper connections between mathematical concepts.
NCTM's one-day virtual professional development workshops align with ESSER Funding uses and support teachers in facilitating effective, productive struggle in the classroom.
