Invitation to the Math R&D Committee!

Dear Colleagues,

Do you believe in improving the math teaching and learning experience at CA? The time has come to move forward with the development of our approach and practice. We are looking to establish a core group of teachers who are interested in, or feel passionate about Math.

As an R&D committee, our first priority will be to look in-depth at what research says is best practice in Math. Second, we will look at pedagogy and how we can best teach it. Third, we will look for resources. Finally, there is no finally. Once the R&D Committee establishes a core math program in the first round of the process, the committee will continue following, growing, investigating, and trialing new approaches to continually develop our program.

To tempt your thinking, take a moment to watch this: How to learn math: Jo Boaler and her students
