Math Unboot Camp


Audience:
Math teachers, administrators, building instructional coaches
​​
​
​​Rationale:
Mathematics literacy cannot be accomplished in a boot camp. Yes, reminders provided in a boot camp will help. But without intentional work around conceptual understanding, teachers are continuously using band-aid solutions (many times with students who hate math). By helping the students make sense of the math, understand what the various representations illustrate, and integrate academic conversations about math, success is far more likely to occur. Amazingly, the Math Unboot Camp focuses on current abilities and pushes the students to the next level - all through a structured, integrated approach.
​
Explore the TSI 2.0 Math Unboot Camp, a training crafted for secondary math educators guiding students through college readiness assessments, including the TSI 2.0. This workshop is designed to deepen educators' understanding of the TSI 2.0 math tests, how they relate to other measures of college readiness (tests) and offer unique, practical strategies to support student success during the school day, how to implement the Unboot Camp system, and how to create their own impactful curriculum with the help of AI.
​
In this 6-hour session, participants will delve into the intricacies of the TSI 2.0 Math assessment, focusing on the 20 questions that comprise the CRC (College Readiness Component) portion navigating the multiple-choice sections, which evaluates algebraic, quantitative, geometric, probabilistic, and statistical competencies. Workbook starter kits are discounted with a service contract; new workbook development is part of the workshop.
​
Finally, the workshop promotes macro ideas that require a shift in some current systems to best support the students as they progress through the math sequence, also addressing the gaps from the pandemic as well as calculator dependency, both significant challenges for success on all future math challenges.
