When Students Resist Teaching for Conceptual Understanding

1.5 PD Hours

“When am I ever going to use this?”

“Just tell me how to do it.”

“This isn’t going to be on the test.”

In this workshop, we will discuss what we often hear from students. We will then dig in to what is going on for students when they resist and how that understanding can inform our response. We will introduce and practice using a frame for receiving and responding to resistance.

We will also look at research on implicit bias and consider its implication on our classroom practice.

This workshop is the second in a series of three workshops focusing on equity and math. Participation in all three is encouraged, but not required. The other two workshops are:

• Creating Math Classrooms Where Students Participate
• Using Math to Identify and Impact Social Justice in Our Lives

Professional Standards Addressed: P1.3, P1.4, C1.2, C1.3
Online Facilitated
