IM Math™ Teach and Learn

Are you getting ready to Teach and Learn with IM Math™ in the fall? Curious about how you can implement M Math™, a problem-based curriculum, building towards a world where all learners know, use, and enjoy mathematics?

If you answered ‘yes!’ to either of these questions, check out our Teach and Learn Academies running all throughout the summer. There are several to choose from. We hope to see you there.

The purpose of this implementation series is to get educators ready to teach and learn within problem-based classrooms where student thinking is front and center. This series gives educators first-hand experience with and confidence in using the M Math™ curriculum.

Sharing some information about MEECS workshop.

Hi Mary!. Our summer academies are nearly full, with the exception of the MEECS Week course which surprises me. Teachers get oodles of materials and training all at the same place. If you can forward this flyer to your pod, I would appreciate it!

Learning in Places – Year 2

· Leave a comment ·

Please share this with districts you work with. Teachers will receive stipends. There are also travel funds for joining us at the Summer Summit in July

Learning in Places is a project funded by the National Science Foundation and is a 4-state collaboration between researchers at Northwestern University and University of Washington Bothell, education and community leaders, and educators in Washington, Michigan, Louisiana, and Illinois. We are designing, implementing, and studying a model of field-based science education for PreK-5 students that centers equity and families’ cultural ways of knowing, is NGSS aligned, asks “should-we” questions (what should we do?) , or questions that involve ethical deliberation and decision-making, and integrates literacy and civics/social studies learning. We aim to expand students’ understanding of nature-culture relations – that is, relations between human worlds and the natural worlds – towards just, sustainable, and culturally thriving forms of life by cultivating ethical decision-making, communal adaptations, and leadership. We are looking for cohorts of PreK-5 teachers and educators to join us in this exciting project!
