WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

Picture
Singapore Math Training Workshop (Elementary) 
Registration required

Learn about the Singapore Math methods that focuses on mastery achieved through intentional sequencing of concepts. Some of the key features of the approach include the CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) progression, number bonds, bar modeling, and mental math. Instead of pushing through rote memorization, students learn to think mathematically and rely on the depth of knowledge they gained in previous lessons.


Making a Case for SEL (Social Emotional Workshop) (ALL GRADE LEVELS)
No registration required - Join via Zoom

Now more than ever schools are taking time to prioritize not just students' academic learning, but students' wellbeing as well. Also known as SEL, social-emotional learning is the process through which students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, and make responsible and caring decisions.  During this workshop, participants will explore the five core social and emotional competencies of self-awareness; self-management; social awareness; responsible decision-making; and relationship skills and also experience a lesson or two from HTA's own advisory curriculum. Come learn strategies to help your student navigate this important aspect of their personal development!

"Making Math Visible" Workshop (K-2) 
Registration required

In this workshop, participants will practice hands-on math strategies using various math manipulatives to solidify important concepts.

"Filling the Gaps in Middle School Math" Workshop (6-8)
​
Registration required

There's no such thing as a math person. So why do some students seem to get it, and some don't? It's because math is sequential - new math concepts build on previously learned concepts. What happens if a few concepts get missed, or not mastered completely? Over time, those seemingly small gaps begin to widen to a point where inevitable frustration sets in. This workshop will focus on sharing specific tips and ideas for finding and filling the math gaps so our students can move forward with confidence in their ability to 'do' math.

"Marvelous M.A.T.H Workshop" (3-5) 

Registration required

Math Workshop provides students an opportunity to be introduced to new math concepts, apply math strategies in a variety of ways, and articulate new understandings through verbal or written sharing.  In this workshop, participants will move through the various components of M.A.T.H.

Seven Habits of Highly Effective (Teen) Readers (MS/HS)

Dismantling the Myth of “Learning to Read, Reading to Learn” (3-5)
