Professional Development
SEDL’s Center for Professional Learning offers customized professional development to support research-based instructional practices in mathematics and science.
- Beyond “Good Teaching”: Recognizing Deep Mathematical Learning: Designed for middle school administrators, this course focuses on ways in which they can improve mathematics instruction in their schools and districts.
- Beyond ELL: Addressing Language-Based Problems in Mathematics Instruction: Designed for middle school mathematics teachers and ELL supervisors, this course examines inadvertent and often undetected problems in mathematics instruction caused by inattention to the role of language, representation, and symbolism. These practices affect all students, but particularly English language learners.
- The Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle (PTLC): This 3-day “train the trainer” session introduces participants to the PTLC, an ongoing, job-embedded approach in which teachers collaborate to plan and implement standards-based lessons. The PTLC can be used in any content area, including mathematics and science.
