COABE Pre-Conference: ANN Teaching & Learning Institute: Building Agency in Math Class and Beyond (in-person) (11 Apr 2027)

Sun, 11 Apr 2027 04:00:00 GMT

Join The Adult Numeracy Network at the 2027 COABE pre-conference!

ANN Teaching & Learning Institute: Building Agency in Math Class and Beyond.

Description: Teachers and students often feel that math class is a struggle. What is it about our experiences that leads us to believe that we aren’t “math people” and feel as though our ideas and questions do not belong in math? In this workshop, we will explore that question and experience instructional routines and activities that engage students, help them develop positive math identities, and build their critical thinking skills and agency for test-taking and life.

Please note, especially for teachers in the Louisiana area - You do not need to register for the whole COABE conference to attend a pre-conference session.
