Overview: LD—Learning Differences, Difficulties, or Disabilities: Many of our students experience these terms firsthand, but no matter the case, it’s important that you don’t consider them a Deficit! In this workshop, we will explore some of the strategies that you can use to help students access math ideas so they can be successful math users. These strategies can be adapted to any level and used with any math content area.
This session is the second in a series offered by the SABES ELA, ESOL, and Math Curriculum and Instruction Teams on teaching adult learners with learning disabilities.
Audience:This professional development activity/course is designed for adult basic education math teachers at all levels of math ability and comfort
Description: This 75-minute online workshop is for anyone involved in adult numeracy instruction who wants ideas for helping students develop a strong core foundation without relying on mnemonics to try to remember procedures. Participants will look at research on learning disabilities as it relates to math, try out some strategies for themselves to add to their teaching toolkit, and watch a student illustrate the power of such strategies.
