Equitable Access to Math: A Neurodevelopmental Approach to Differentiated Instruction (Grades K - 8)

The neurodevelopmental framework (NDF) is a key element of the research-based Math for All program developed by Bank Street and The Education Development Center (EDC). Teachers,  curriculum coordinators, and coaches can use the NDF to 1) unpack the demands placed on students doing math lessons and 2) identify students’ strengths and challenges in areas of language, memory and attention that may interfere with students’ access to mathematics. Using this NDF analysis, you will learn how to adapt lessons to meet the needs of all students including multilingual and diverse learners. Reflecting on your own experiences as a learner in this course will set the stage for you to incorporate the Math for All approach in your coaching work with individual teachers, in planning sessions at grade-level meetings, and for professional learning workshops to create school-wide access to mathematics learning. This workshop is geared towards instructional leaders, coaches and teachers. Both sessions include a one hour online meeting to be scheduled in early October.
