Service Details
WestEd mathematics educators customize a two-day workshop — for both teachers and teacher leaders — to address local needs, adding optional ongoing support through online discussion groups and webinars.
Our workshops are built around video cases that engage teachers and/or leaders in mathematics tasks, analysis of classroom or professional development video clips, discussions, readings, and tasks designed as a bridge to teachers’ and leaders’ own practice.
Based upon your identified needs and specific workshop topics, a variety of materials will be used in the sessions, including College- and Career-Ready Standards for Mathematics and/or state or local standards; and WestEd research-based products and services including Making Mathematics Accessible to English Learners: A Guidebook for Teachers, Learning and Teaching Linear Functions, and Aim for Algebra.
What Makes This Service Unique
WestEd mathematics educators and researchers, with more than 20 years’ experience in mathematics teaching and professional development, will collaborate with you to plan, customize, and facilitate professional learning sessions to meet the needs of your school, district, or regional site.
Cost
Two-day workshops, online or on-site, with flexible dates are available for school or district teams of up to 25 people.
Each workshop, including all accompanying materials and facilitator travel and expenses, costs $10,000 per site, for up to 25 participants.
