Join us at Polaris Charter Academy and immerse yourself in the vision, culture, systems, and structures of Polaris’s math work. You’ll witness the school’s equity-focused approach on accessible instruction for all K-8th grade math learners. Participants will view the process of transforming teaching mathematics from the common direct instruction of formulas and rules to the exciting constructing of mathematical ideas through exploration, discussion, and grapple tasks. Together, we will unpack the math story of Polaris and hear how years of strategic work have resulted in an alignment of a collective vision, staff and student mindset, and classroom practices.
Site seminars are two-day, in-person events where participants can take a deep dive into the EL Education model. You can expect to interact with students, school leaders, teachers, and more during your visit. Participants will have the opportunity to visit EL classrooms in action and see targeted Core Practices come to life in an environment that strives to provide an equitable experience for all learners.
