Workshop Focus: Driving Discussion with the Five Practices

In this engaging and interactive workshop, participants will explore the renowned framework from 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions by Smith & Stein (2018). This series is designed to equip educators with the skills and strategies needed to lead effective and meaningful mathematics discussions that foster deep understanding and student engagement.

Why Join?

Mathematics discussions are more than just a classroom activity; they are a critical tool for developing students’ conceptual understanding and confidence. However, facilitating these discussions can be challenging without the right strategies in place. The Driving Discussion with the Five Practices workshop is tailored to address these challenges by guiding educators through a systematic approach to discussion facilitation.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Task Selection & Learning Goals: Understand the importance of choosing the right tasks and setting clear learning goals as the foundation for productive discussions.
  • The Five Practices: Delve into the five practices of anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, and connecting. These practices will empower you to guide students through mathematical concepts while ensuring that every discussion is focused, coherent, and meaningful.
  • Equitable Learning Experiences: Learn how to create discussions that not only enhance mathematical understanding but also promote equity by ensuring that all students, regardless of background or ability, have opportunities to contribute and succeed.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is ideal for mathematics educators at all levels who are committed to improving their instructional practices and fostering an inclusive learning environment. Whether you are an experienced teacher looking to refine your approach or a new educator eager to build strong foundational skills, this series offers valuable insights and practical strategies.
