Participants will consider how to deliver accurate, motivating, and actionable feedback to students, as well as teach students to give meaningful feedback to one another.
Clarity + Connections = Competence

When Students Do the Work
Designed for math teachers across all grade bands, participants will examine instructional routines that motivate and engage students in highly productive mathematical learning.
