What Educators Are Saying
The quality and importance of the professional development offered through the US Math Recovery Council® has been recognized by course participants upon completion and implementation.
-
This course was wonderful. I really enjoyed getting all of the background information about how students develop in their mathematical thinking. I also enjoyed being able to practice the assessments and discuss it during class.
-
This course was extremely relevant to student achievement in math, identifying the problem areas, and addressing them. This course was so much more valuable that just about any other math training I have every received!
-
I think this will greatly impact my teaching. Already, I can pinpoint why students are struggling with certain objectives or concepts. I now know how to teach them to gain the cognitive shift to go from one construct to another.
-
Add+VantageMR gives me an in-depth look into each student's math abilities. It will have a great personal impact on each of my struggling math students.
-
Hands down, this is the most applicable and exciting teacher training I have ever had! I feel empowered to be able to really effect student's understanding of not just how to do math, but how numbers and math work!
-
These AVMR courses provide us with such valuable information about what students need as foundational skills. Determining the contruct a student is in allows for teachers to meet the needs of students exactly where they are at and we were given the tools and materials to execute it immediately in our classroom with our students. The benefit of these courses cannot be overstated.
-
I appreciated the "hybrid" format of this course. I liked the flexibility of learning on my schedule, practicing with students, reflecting, and regular periods to meet as a group on-line.
-
This course was a real eye opener for me! Especially on development of number sense verses memorization. I believe it is a real game changer on how we can assist students with number sense and stronger math knowledge. Not just to solve problems but to apply that knowledge to real life situations. I believe students will be more confident and more willing to try different ways to solve problems and then defend their answers.
-
I have learned more in this class than any of my college courses. This taught me so much about how move a child's mind of thinking to the next level.
-
My classroom practices in mathematics will be impacted greatly because of this course. I feel confident implementing the activities and differentiating them for the different levels of students in my classroom. I also feel that I will be able to notice many things in my informal observations of students that will give me insight into their mathematical thinking.
