Region 13's E-Campus

MSTAR Math Academy   Examine the big ideas in the Grades 5-8 mathematics TEKS and learn strategies to prepare your students for success in algebra during this professional development. Participants will explore hands-on, student-centered lessons designed to provide connections to and strengthen participants' knowledge of the middle-school mathematics that is critical for success in algebra, the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS), English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS), and Response to Intervention (RtI). Sessions will provide Texas teachers and administrators with online resources and follow-up activities through an online interactive platform, as well as allow educators to build online professional learning communities for further development and growth.   This workshop is a CORE workshop that focuses on high quality Tier 1 instruction and should be considered foundational for new teachers, teachers who are changing teaching assignments and teachers who are developing skills in a particular professional development pathway.
