Full course description
This course is designed with developmental mathematics instructors in mind. This course discusses use of mathematics-specific feedback to affirm students’ identities as capable mathematics learners, counter negative self-talk, and strengthen their sense of belonging in mathematics. Participants will consider how lesson designs can support students’ productive struggle and practice integrating scaffolding focused on perseverance.
By the end of the course, participants will have practiced how to redesign mathematics problems and lessons that contextualize mathematics concepts in meaningful ways. Participants will be equipped to update or produce new classroom-read lessons that demonstrate integration of belonging-based feedback, scaffolding, and contextualization.
