Making Math Add Up for All Learners
Description:
Students are just as likely to have a learning disability in math as they are in reading, and a strong math foundation is crucial for pursuing STEM opportunities and careers. But investments in research and teaching practices for students with math learning disabilities lag significantly behind reading. Participants will experience what it means to have a math learning disability and learn high leverage, evidence-based strategies to help all students be successful.
