Inclusive Classrooms: Increasing Access and Engagement in Math Class for All Students
Self-Guided Professional Learning Series
Grades K-12
Series Description
This self-guided professional learning series is led by Dr. Rachel Lambert, a former NYC classroom teacher, special education teacher, and current assistant professor at the University of California Santa Barbara whose research focuses on the intersections of mathematics education, disability studies in education, and social justice mathematics. In these sessions, teachers and instructional coaches will explore issues of engagement and access in mathematics and use the perspectives of students at the margins to identify ways to make their mathematics classrooms more inclusive.
Note: to access these resources you will need to be logged in to your Google profile using your DOE credentials.
In this series participants will:
Learn about research on engagement in mathematical problem solving and discussion, learner variability and neurodiversity, and varied ways that learners make sense of fraction quantities and relationships
Analyze examples and data from research studies in inclusion classrooms and make connections to their own students
Use a perspective of universal design to understand barriers to student engagement classrooms in order to plan ways to make their own classrooms more inclusive.
Impact on students:
Increase participation and engagement of students - particularly those at the margins - in mathematical problem solving and discussion.
