Advanced Quantitative Reasoning (AQR) / Advanced Mathematical Decision Making (AMDM) Institute Follow-Up Days
Two optional follow-up days to the 2012 institute. Follow-up days available separately, 8am to 4pm.
Fee for each follow-up day: $250 per Texas teacher; $300 for each teacher from outside Texas.
Audience:
- Participants in the 3-day AQR/AMDM Institute
Grade-level focus:
- High school
These follow-up days are open only to institute participants, who can register for one or both of the two optional follow-up sessions. The fee is per follow-up day.
As a participant in these follow-up days, you have the opportunity to share successes and address concerns you have experienced in the first months of implementing the Advanced Quantitative Reasoning (AQR)/Advanced Mathematical Decision Making (AMDM) course.
These follow-up days will be conducted by pairs of leaders: an experienced AQR / AMDM teacher and an experienced professional development provider. The leaders will model a teaching practice that challenges students with engaging problems and projects while also challenging them to assume responsibility for their learning.
Follow-up Day 1
You will have the opportunity to share successes and address concerns in implementing AQR, and you will leave the session equipped to successfully teach Units IV and V. (In the second follow-up day, you can receive professional development that equips you to teach Unit VI, and you will also experience aspects of Unit VII.) You will explore and share assessments and rubrics on the online community website available to all participants to use in future planning.
Please bring your laptop for this session.
Follow-up Day 2
You will receive professional development that equips you to teach Unit VI, and you will also experience aspects of Unit VII. In addition, you will explore and share assessments and rubrics on the online community website for use in future planning.
Please bring your laptop for this session.
For more information about the course, including an overview of the course materials and a copy of the course outline with proposed student expectations, see the AQR website.
Advanced Quantitative Reasoning / Advanced Mathematical Decision Making course materials and professional development services were developed in cooperation with the Texas Association of Supervisors of Mathematics with generous development funding provided by the Greater Texas Foundation.
