Math Institute on September 20 – Registration OPEN!

The Minnesota Numeracy Instruction Advisory team would like to invite you to the 2019 ABE Math Institute on September 20. This is a Math Institute you won’t want to miss! We have the opportunity to learn from THREE renowned local and national math experts: Sara Van Der Werf (featured presenter – see below for her biography), James Brickwedde, Hamline math education professor, and May Vang Swanson, middle school math teacher at Capitol Hill Magnet School in St. Paul Public Schools.

Who should come?

Anyone who teaches math or incorporates numeracy into instruction, including all levels of ABE and ESL! This conference is for new and experienced instructors, as well as MNI cohort alumni.

Are you a program manager or coordinator?  We have a special session just for you around creating coherent math programming!

What can you expect?

During this interactive conference, we will have both general and concurrent sessions. Topics include:

• Creating the Conditions for Mathematical Discourse
