High-Leverage Microroutines: Maximizing Student Engagement
Description: During this preconference, participants will engage in and leave ready to apply two microroutines from the NCTM book High-Leverage Microroutines: Maximizing Student Engagement. These microroutines provide access and support for all learners and can be used with any curriculum. Participants will examine eight areas of cognition that students draw on when learning mathematics and identify students’ strengths in those areas. Participants will consider how the book’s ideas can be applied in their own contexts to ensure that all students think and reason mathematically.
