2018 Research-to-Practice Conference

 What Participants are Saying

  •  Excellent sessions! I am now using number talks in my kindergarten class and really enjoying watching the kids learn!
  • The information from the breakout sessions was extremely enlightening. Even though I teach fourth grade, I often find the information from lower grade sessions very helpful. This was absolutely true of my morning session. The afternoon session challenged my view of rich mathematical tasks. I loved it!
  •  I only wish there were more conferences like this one. Our district has limited funds to send teachers to conferences and many are very expensive. 
  • Great resource. I know of nothing else of this quality that is this close, and at a cost we can send several folks.
