Overview

An introduction to using CCR-aligned EMPower Plus materials.

Description

Looking for some math materials that can help you bring the College and Career Readiness Standards for Mathematics into your program? Do you want to help your students deepen their conceptual understanding of the math you are teaching, but are not sure where to start? This workshop will introduce the EMPower Plus materials, which provide activities and practice materials specifically designed to help adult learners deepen their conceptual understanding of math concepts in real life contexts. The workshop will provide an overview to the methodology and content of the EMPower Plus materials, tips for putting them to use in the classroom, a chance to try out sample activities, and guidance for developing unit plans using EMPower Plus.

    Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this professional development activity/course, you will be able to:

  • have some sample activities to teach conceptually using the new EMPower Plus series
    connect learning activities from the EMPower Plus series to the CCR Content Standards and Standards for Mathematical Practice
    articulate the difference between teaching for understanding and teaching procedures
