NCTM Annual Preconference Institute – Wednesday, October 15, 2025 Developing Proactive Interventions that Engage – Priming Students for Success Grades 1-5 This all-day institute focuses on planning and implementing proactive interventions for students with disabilities or significant learning gaps in grades 1-5. Using evidence-based strategies such as concrete/semi-concrete/abstract (CSA), participants will learn how to help students develop a balanced understanding of mathematics concepts and skills with a focus on number and operations and algebraic thinking. A new model called Priming will be shared and participants will experience classroom-tested tasks that create robust learning opportunities and avoid the “teaching as telling” approach. Resources and instructional strategies shared will support lasting learning by building from students’ strengths and avoiding “rules that expire.” Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, 11th edition The Van de Walle, Karp, and Bay Williams Mathematics Methods Book – just won the 2025 Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) McGuffey Longevity Award (https://www.pearson.com/en-us/subject-catalog/p/elementary-and-middle-school-mathematics-teaching-developmentally/P200000001979/9780136818038?srsltid=AfmBOoqnu0BFDZvgYXYhYK8Z9nAmNyOMkinVhnH1N5eXfS1BnewE9yfr) The Math Pact Series with Sarah Bush and Barbara Dougherty (https://www.nctm.org/store/mathpact/) AMTE Community Circles (https://amte.net/content/amte-community-circles) Special Guest: Karen Karp.
