Successful strategies for struggling students
In My Kids Can teachers share successful ways to work with struggling students. Their instruction is aligned with the NCTM standards and guided by five powerful core principles.
- Make mathematical thinking explicit.
- Link assessment and teaching.
- Build understanding through talk.
- Expect students to take responsibility for their own learning and support them as they do.
- Work collaboratively with special education staff to plan effective instruction.
These teachers describe how they use whole-group, small-group, and individual instruction as well as other strategies that hold kids to high expectations while scaffolding content and processes across the math curriculum.
