OAME Leadership 2024
OAME Leadership 2024
In complex times, how can we design math experiences that provide access for all students in our classrooms? At the upcoming OAME Leadership session, Dr. Rachel Lambert will share the research that led to UDL Math, a version of UDL that is specifically designed for mathematics classrooms. In this session, we will explore how design and creativity are central to making math classrooms work for students at the margins, particularly students with disabilities and/or multilingual learners.
Join us Tuesday, November 19, 2024 from 7:00 - 8:30pm for this engaging virtual webinar. Cost is just $25 for OAME members, or $40 for non-members.
