EdVenture’s Readiness Alignment Project

EdVenture is in its third year working with the 4K teachers and assistants in Colleton

County. This session will share activities and strategies used as part of a multi-year

professional learning experience that included school visits to EdVenture,
demonstration lessons in the teachers' classrooms targeting the state’s early learning

standards and student engagement, and family nights. This IMLS-funded project

served as a study to demonstrate the impact of a professional development model

of the future. The session will bring attention to the data that placed the attention

on student engagement, teacher questioning, and the attention placed on
mathematics and science.

Fostering a Student-Led Mathematics Block

This session will address the moves you can make to have a more student-centered
mathematics block where the students are driving the direction of the lesson from

start to finish. Through thinking routines, tasks, and activities throughout the math

block, the teacher can remove him or herself from being the sage on the stage to

the guide on the side.
