All students can make sense of mathematics. Some students just need more time, opportunities and support than others. We believe that designing with empathy is the key to creating and implementing effective, asset-based intervention strategies. At our Intervention Leadership Conference, you will have the opportunity to:
Build a comprehensive vision of asset-based teaching and learning. You have the option of joining the Intervention Leadership Conference on July 23–24 and continuing your learning journey at our Summer Leadership Institute on July 24–27. Both conferences will take place at Radisson Blu Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.
Dr. Kara Imm is a K-12 math educator based in New York City who designs and leads professional development and site-based coaching to school communities and districts throughout New York State, across the U. S. and internationally. In her more than 20-year career, she has been a middle and high school math teacher, staff developer, leadership coach, and teacher education faculty. She currently teaches graduate coursework at Hunter College (City University of New York), supporting the development of elementary teaching candidates in East Harlem. In her research and writing, Kara is exploring two frontiers: the role of design thinking in teachers’ work with marginalized students, and the intersection of mathematical modeling, identity development and culturally relevant pedagogy.
Dr. Rachel Lambert is an associate professor in special education and mathematics education at the Gervitz Graduate School of Education at University of California Santa Barbara. Her goal is to increase access to meaningful mathematics for students with disabilities. Dr. Lambert has published critical analysis of the academic fields of special education and mathematics education, particularly for the deficit construction of students with disabilities within these fields. She is currently researching how students with learning disabilities can be supported to more deeply engage in meaningful mathematics, as well as the integration of the Standards for Mathematical Practice into Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
SLI (Summer Leadership Institute) is geared toward instructional leaders and teacher leaders. The purpose is to support strong instructional practice and introduce ways that leaders can support and encourage educators’ implementation of Bridges. This year, SLI will focus on asset-based teaching and learning—for all students. There will be sessions focused on supporting multilingual learners, intervention, horizontal enrichment, and productively adapting curriculum, as well as multiple ways to support educators using Bridges in their classrooms.
ILC (Intervention Leadership Conference) is geared more toward those who support intervention. This might mean folks who provide direct intervention services to students, as well as those who coordinate intervention at a school or district level. Rather than a series of sessions, this is designed as an interactive workshop.
Unfortunately, we do not. The ILC is structured more like a two-day interactive workshop than a conference with a series of sessions that we can run virtually.
