Sessions Strands

One component of quality teaching involves deep content knowledge. In this initiative, P-5 teachers completed an in-depth series of advanced mathematics courses (Understanding Number and Operations, Understanding Geometry, Understanding Algebra, and Understanding Data Analysis and Probability). Taught from the perspective of providing a foundation for P-5 students to understand advanced mathematics later, these courses resulted in increased mathematical content knowledge for teachers and changed pedagogical practices. Student achievement data, while preliminary, is promising.
