Workshop Note:

I will lead participants through a process of designing a standards-based math unit that responds to the new Massachusetts' Educator Evaluation rubric. The presentations will employ multiple math tools and strategies including screencasting, UClass, Khan Academy and Khan-like videos and presentations to develop students' unit knowledge and skill including the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP's). The use of video in the math class is a powerful tool that strengthens students' ability to explain their thinking and prove their points with regard to math problem solving and understanding.
