But why do so many kids of all ages have such an aversion to math, and what can we do about it? Let\u2019s collaborate to identify common causes of students' strained relationship with math, and brainstorm solutions.","Description":"This conversation will focus on identifying barriers to student engagement and empowerment in math, and brainstorming ways to remove those barriers. A main idea or premise for this conversation is that students\u2019 aversion to math is a response to common curriculum and instructional practices rather than a lack of ability to learn and enjoy math. Once that premise is established, the conversation will be driven by participants\u2019 experiences, perceptions, and biases, with the facilitator summarizing and synthesizing their ideas.","Link":["http:\/\/blogs.edweek.org\/teachers\/coach_gs_teaching_tips\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/davidginsburg1\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"A variety of approaches and activities will be used to generate provocative and productive conversation including: an opening prompt aimed at brainstorming barriers to student engagement and empowerment in math; an open-ended scenario featuring a common challenge for math teachers; quotes from leading math educators; and a problem-solving challenge that serves to replicate for participants some of the challenges students experience as math learners.","Presenter":["David Ginsburg"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Chicago Public Schools: Award-winning math teacher and coach (13 yrs); National instructional consultant and coach (11 years)"],"PresenterEmail":["dginsburg801@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":134,"ScheduleLocationID":18,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"I've led this conversation at NCTM and several other conferences, and have always gotten a great response!","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":9}}
