These common expectations discourage tracking by ability level,presenting a new challenge for many secondary math teachers who now face increasingly heterogeneousclasses.Differentiated Instruction (DI) is the key to ensuring that all students learn at their own appropriatelevel and pace. This two-day workshop will provide strategies and techniques for using differentiatedlessons to increase the mathematical proficiency of all students. These methods will focus on the needsof middle school learners and incorporate the Standards for Mathematical Practice, which are a keytenet of the CCSS.After day one, teachers are asked to implement something they have learned. On day two, theseclassroom experiences will be discussed so that teachers can share feedback on best practices. As a resultof this training, participants will understand how DI can support the CCSS in mathematics and willhave multiple strategies for implementing DI in the math classroom.DSM-5 and Autism: What Now?Date:Time:Location:11/07/13, Thursday 9:00 AM - 3:30 PMSERC Classroom, MiddletownEvent Code:Fee:Closing Date:Contact Person:Linda Adorno(860) 632-1485, ext. 241adorno@ctserc.orgPresenter(s):UCEDD StaffUCONN Health Center,Farmington14-43-108$90 per person10/29/2013Audience:K-Grade 12; Student Support Services Professionals, including Guidance Counselors and MentalHealth Professionals in the school and community; General and Special Education Administrators; andFamiliesFamilies and school-based teams will need to understand the criteria for autism spectrum disordersin the new fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
