Anser Charter School to Host Math Seminar for Educators

by Andrew Reed, Idaho Education News

Nearly 50 teachers from around the country are spending Tuesday and Wednesday at Anser Charter School in Garden City to participate in a seminar on building conceptual understanding in math.  The two-day seminar allows educators to engage in conversations with students and teachers exploring research on the social, behavioral and cognitive influences on conceptual understanding.

Educators will:

  • Engage in professional development with the Anser Charter School staff.
  • Hear students present their math strategies.
  • Observe classroom math instruction.

Through these activities, attendees will discover how Anser’s math program helps students build success through focusing on math structures, language, model and emphasizing math practices through the lens of character and habits.
