Implementing a Problem-based Instructional Model
Problem-based instruction is a powerful approach to mathematics education that emphasizes critical thinking, student discourse, problem-solving, and collaboration. In today’s classrooms, as teachers address varying degrees of gaps in instruction due to the onset of the pandemic and other factors, implementing a problem-based instructional model is increasingly important.
During this webinar, a formidable panel of math educators at the state, district, school, and classroom levels come together to discuss the impact of implementing a problem-based instructional model. Learn best practices as they share their experiences—both the wins and the challenges of implementation.
