Description
A mathematics professional development program for inclusive classrooms developed by the Education Development Center and Bank Street College, this professional development program shows general and special education teachers how to provide a high-quality, standards-based mathematics education to all students, including those with disabilities. The kits Math for All learning experiences provide tools that help teachers:Assess students strengths and needs Use multiple instructional strategies to teach specific math concepts Tailor lessons to individual students strengths and needs Includes: Facilitators guide, a participant handbook, and a corresponding DVD. Babette Moeller is a senior research scientist at the Center for Children and Technology of the Education Development Center. She brings more than 25 years of experience researching and developing technology-enhanced programs in mathematics and science to help ensure that students with disabilities and those from other traditionally underrepresented groups will be included in and benefit from educational reform efforts. As project director of numerous research and development projects, Moeller has had extensive experience in designing and implementing technology-supported programs in general and special education, providing professional development for teachers and administrators in a variety of settings, and conducting formative and summative evaluation research.
