About this talk
Engage your K-1 learners from start to finish by introducing a fun character to your whole group math time! Naomi will walk you through how to effectively execute ANY lesson using the “I Do It, We Do It, You Do It x 2” model in order to ensure that your learners are understanding the content you are teaching and feeling supported through any concept you place in front of them. You will learn how to look for and address misconceptions, when to “catch and release students” for reteaching, how to check for understanding, and what to do to differentiate instruction for your learners. Naomi will walk you through how to make these lessons work in your classroom and share the templates with you so that you can get started right away!
