As CPM writes the new Inspiring Connections series, many conversations have focused on supporting students’ language development. Supporting students’ language development is an important equity issue, with many nuances to navigate in order to avoid perpetuating problematic ideas about students’ ability to learn mathematics.
Do you position your multilingual learners for success? If I am being entirely honest, I have not always done this, even when I would have answered Yes. I thought I was, but I know now that is not necessarily what I did.
Two truths: CPM textbooks are wordy. Few of us were taught how to support reading in math.
Whether your course assignments include CC1 or AP Calculus, the reality of teaching is that our students arrive with a diverse set of prior learning experiences and varied instructional needs.
Even with the best of teachers, there are times when some students just do not get it.
Looking back to my first professional development day, I remember being quite overwhelmed when I heard that I would be using the CPM curriculum with my 6th grade students who have cognitive delays.
