About this event
Join us to explore the book, Rethinking Disability and Mathematics, by Rachel Lambert. Let’s make the math classroom a place where students with disabilities and neurodiversity uncover their strengths and find meaningful and joyful learning in math.
Day 1
'Day 1' is designed for teachers who have just started reading the book, and want to learn more about Rachel Lambert’s research. Discussions will be based around the need for shifting our misconceptions around math, disability, and instructional practice, as well as how to implement using Universal Design for Learning for Math (UDL Math) to support all students.
Day 2
'Day 2' is designed for teachers who HAVE read the book and want to learn more about implementation strategies in the classroom. Discussions will be focused around real life classroom stories and best practices for math instruction to support all students.
Objectives
- Explore key ideas and research from the book Rethinking Disability and Mathematics, by Rachel Lambert to learn how to ensure that all students, regardless of ability, have the opportunity to engage with math in meaningful ways.
- Be introduced to Universal Design for Learning for Math (UDL Math), a framework that empowers disabled and neurodiverse students by providing multiple pathways to mathematical understanding. Day 2
- Explore core ideas, fact fluencies, designing an inclusive classroom, and rethinking assessments and IEP goals.
- Learn to create inclusive math classrooms that celebrate students' strengths and foster a sense of identity as math learners.
- Get practical strategies for applying UDL Math in K-8 classrooms and hear real-life examples of how teachers redesigned their classrooms and increased access for all students.
