I see that most Math Solutions courses are for teachers in kindergarten through grade 8. What focus will there be on the particular needs for the grade level I teach?
A. It depends on the course format, which is customized for the educators in your school or district. Often one-day or multiday courses will be tailored to a specific grade range. During five-day immersion courses, which are usually presented district-wide, teachers attend grade-level sessions for part of each day, meeting with one instructor throughout the week who has had extensive experience with students that age. However, during the rest of the week, teachers meet in randomly formed K–8 groups. In these sessions, the focus is on learning mathematics, and participants attend sessions taught by all of the instructors on site. Also, large-group sessions are held during the week in which all participants meet together to focus on particular educational and pedagogical topics.
