Professional Development Opportunity: Evidence-Based Math Teaching Strategies in a Simulated Classroom Study
The Simulated Instruction in Mathematics Professional Development (SIM PD) Study, is an innovative professional learning opportunity that has demonstrated positive impacts on the quality of math instruction for grades 4 and 5 math teachers. Participation in SIM PD provides opportunities for instructors of math to explore a variety of ideas and strategies meant to sharpen their classroom teaching skills to best serve this population. Teachers will:
- Learn questioning and discussion facilitation strategies that promote student engagement and understanding of math concepts
- Collaboratively practice the strategies with fellow teachers using a simulated classroom where avatar students respond to teachers in real time
- Receive support from a school or district coach trained by the American Institute for Research (AIR) to lead the SIM PD activities.
