Shifting from Worksheets to Meaningful Tasks
December 17, 2014
930am-1230pm
With the new assessments and standards come shifts in instruction. Perhaps one of the most exciting, but also one of the most challenging, is moving toward providing meaningful and engaging tasks that allow students to make connections and expand their understanding of concepts and procedures. In this workshop, participants will learn to make this shift, discovering how to turn an ordinary worksheet into a meaningful, rigorous task.
