Bridging the Arithmetic-to-Algebra Gap: A CEC/DLD Collaborative Webinar Series
Two federal panels, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel and the Institute for Educational Sciences, have concluded that all students can learn mathematics and most can succeed through Algebra 2. However, the abstractness of algebra and missing precursor understandings may be overwhelming to many students and teachers. Clearly, there exists a need for instruction and interventions that go beyond “typical” instruction.

In this three-part webinar series, Paul Riccomini will cover content and instructionally related topics to help you learn about evidence-based practices for teaching mathematics to students who struggle with the critical concepts and skills necessary for success in algebra. These sessions will provide specific content, instructional, and intervention recommendations and draw upon currently available research-based evidence for teaching mathematics.

This series includes the following 3 webinars:

• Effective Math Instruction for Students with Learning Disabilities
  March 1, 2012, 4-5 p.m. ET
• Interventions for Teaching Algebra to Secondary Students with Learning Disabilities
  March 20, 2012, 4-5 p.m. ET
• Interventions for Teaching Math to Elementary Students with Learning Disabilities
