Workshop Description: 
Discover innovative strategies to transform math instruction in this one-week CALPRO math course designed for adult educators. Participants will explore the Standards of Mathematical Practice (SMPs) and their practical application in fostering student success, delving into the science of brain-based learning to address math anxiety and promote long-term retention. They will learn how to create lessons that encourage productive struggle, persistence, and confidence in tackling challenging concepts. Additionally, the course provides tools to integrate technology and evidence-based instructional routines that enhance engagement and align with the SMPs.

This course takes place entirely online and runs for one week. Daily participation is required, though participants may log in whenever they wish. A live webinar will be scheduled during the course, with a makeup option offered to accommodate time conflicts. Participants who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate of participation (4.5 hours).
