Meeting the needs of IEPs: CRRP in the Mathematics Classroom
Monday June 30, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT
This session will walk through the progression of a mathematics unit: building relationships with teachers; co-planning, honouring students’ cultures; redesigning a mathematics task to include cultural relevance and meeting the needs of students' IEPs; celebrating student voice; and long-range planning using mathematical modeling. I will share data that shows how student engagement and achievement are affected by redesigned practices that include BTC, UDL, and DI principles. Participants will have the opportunity to bring their own examples and adapt curricular mathematics tasks to embed with students' cultures and lived experiences.

You’ve been implementing the practices of the thinking classroom, but student engagement still feels off.

Come learn how an overhaul of my own instruction and grading practices refocused students on engagement in learning and thinking.
