Registration will begin at 8:00 AM
This will equip secondary math educators to implement high-quality first instruction that supports multilingual learners. Participants will explore how Building Thinking Classrooms practices—such as purposeful tasks, random groupings, and vertical non-permanent surfaces—promote mathematical reasoning, discourse, and language development. Educators will learn to integrate scaffolding, culturally responsive strategies, and differentiated supports within BTC structures to ensure clarity, engagement, and accessibility. By the end of the series, teachers will leave with practical tools for designing inclusive, student-centered math classrooms where multilingual learners can thrive.
6-12 math teachers, math and English Learner teachers on assignment, and administrators
