Title: Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions: Teachers Taking on and Overcoming the Challenges

Speakers: Margaret (Peg) Smith

Date: May 8, 2019 | 7:00 p.m. ET

Description: This webinar will focus on the challenges discussions present and how teachers can overcome the challenges. This webinar will begin by providing participants with a brief overview of the 5 practices model for orchestrating productive discussions (Smith & Stein, 2018) and identifying challenges that teachers face in implementing the five practices model. Participants will analyze artifacts drawn from middle school classrooms in which teachers are successfully meeting the challenges (Smith & Sherin, 2019). As a result of engaging in this webinar, participants will learn ways to plan for and manage classroom discussions. They will leave the webinar with practical suggestions they can begin to immediately implement in their own classrooms.
