Juli Dixon reveals six ways we undermine efforts to increase student achievement and then she goes on to share what to do about them. As a result of this session, you will understand that ELA strategies can be unproductive when applied during mathematics instruction and may even lead to issues of access and equity. This session helps you to see why these practices are unproductive and also assists you in generating a plan for what to do about them whether you are teaching face-to-face, virtually, or somewhere in between.
Participants will:
• Make sense of six (un)productive mathematics teaching practices
• Explore reasons for why these practices exist
• Learn productive strategies to counteract the madness
