2025 NCTE-NCTM Joint Conference for Elementary Literacy and Mathematics
We’re excited to be attending this year’s NCTE-NCTM Joint Conference for Elementary Literacy and Mathematics! This one-of-a-kind event brings together educators from across the country to explore meaningful connections between literacy and math instruction. We look forward to engaging in rich conversations, sharing ideas, and learning alongside dedicated teachers and leaders who are passionate about creating powerful learning experiences for students.
Presentations
Using a Lesson Study Process to Collaboratively Plan for Mathematical Discourse that Powerfully Positions Students and Deepens Mathematical Understandings
How do we facilitate mathematical discourse so it is meaningful to each and every student? Participants will analyze discourse excerpts to determine instructional moves that empower students and deepen their mathematical understanding. We will then consider ways that lesson study processes and tools support collaborative planning that centers students’ experiences, competencies, and reasoning.
