Orientation for Kids and Care Givers (7-min video)
Zearn Math is designed to be accessible and engaging for all kids. During this video, a student walks through a digital lesson. It can be played for kids to orient them to each component of the digital lesson experience.
Teacher Orientation (5-min video)
Zearn Math provides rigorous content that ensures a balance of procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, and application work. This video can help teachers understand our approach to teaching and learning.
Teacher Report Training (4-min video)
Zearn Math offers several reports to support student learning. During school closures, we recommend checking the Tower Alerts Report twice weekly to monitor progress and see where additional support is needed.
2019-2020 Professional Learning Opportunities
Math Professional learning opportunities are available throughout the year in three different formats.
Meet-Ups: Meet-ups are face-to-face grade-level specific meetings. Curriculum Fellows facilitate these sessions and share program-specific information and resources. Highlights from these Meet-ups will be sent to all teachers via email after the session. For the 2019-2020 school year, meets-ups will be conference-style and held on September 11 and March 18.
#MathBUZZ: Join us online for short 30-minute, fast-paced, professional learning session. The latest and greatest math related news and resources will be shared. Simply click on the link in your e-mail invite to join live, or watch recorded sessions on this website (click on more and then #MathBUZZ) or log into Twitter and search for @jbtmath.
Math Minutes: Did you miss a meet-up or a #Buzz session? Don't worry. The highlights from these sessions will be sent in small 5-minute messages or video tutorials each Thursday.
Additional Sessions: Watch the calendar and your e-mail for other face-to-face and blended professional learning opportunities during school, after school, and during the summer.
