(WITHOUT FEELING FRUSTRATED WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY, OVERWHELMED WITH PLANNING, AND PRESSED FOR TIME)
CREATED by:
If you’re an upper elementary or middle school math teacher, teaching math in a virtual classroom or blended learning environment . . . it’s time to get the training and tools you need to feel confident teaching math virtually.
Introducing
The Level Up Online Learning Teacher Academy
An exciting and fun, 5-hour professional development workshop that guides you through a step-by-step process to teach, practice/extend, and assess math virtually with a focus on teaching math effectively using best practices.
Here’s what’s inside the Level Up Online Learning Teacher Academy
Module 1:
Create a Solid Roadmap for Learning
All great lessons start with a plan! And, adding technology to the lesson makes the decision-making process even more essential. In module 1, we will look at the “big picture” and iron-out several details related to how your math block is structured and how you plan to share assignments with students.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Explore different ways to maximize the use of technology tools in the classroom
- Discover a variety of lesson plan and assignment templates designed to engage students
- Find out how to use your print resources and where to look for resources you can use in your lessons
Module 2:
Teach Your Math Content and Develop a Conceptual Understanding
Once you have a solid plan, it’s time to teach. You may be surprised to hear that you can teach new content in a virtual learning environment. And yes, you can give students access to virtual manipulatives they can easily manipulate on screen and create opportunities to guide and facilitate student learning. In module 2, we look at tools to craft your lesson and help students process their learning.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Learn about “done for you” tools you can plug into your lesson plan
- Explore tools to create your own videos– face or no face
- Discover virtual manipulatives to help students understand math conceptually and notetaking tools to help students document their learning
Module 3:
Differentiate Learning with Practice and Extensions
Let the fun begin! After we teach the content, it’s time to practice. From digital task cards and math menus to virtual partner games, your students will love practicing their math skills! In module 3, we’ll dive into developing practice and extensions that are sure to engage students.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Explore ways to transform your traditional print worksheets into digital learning tools
- Discover easy-to-use activities that can be adapted for any math content or skill
- Investigate collaborative work tools to promote active engagement among students
Module 4:
Simple Strategies to Assess Student Understanding
Assessing students today helps us know what to do tomorrow! Once students have a chance to practice and extend their learning, it’s time for them to show what they know. In module 4, we’ll explore assessment tools to use at different stages of the lesson cycle.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Explore self-assessment tools to help students evaluate their own learning
- Monitor and adjust learning with tools that can be used as assessments for learning
- Learn how to use math journals and online quizzes as go-to assessments of learning
Module 5:
Communicate Thinking Via Math Talk
The learning cycle wouldn’t be complete without opportunities for students to communicate. Student-to-student interactions can and should be happening online. And, technology gives us some exciting ways to do that. In module 5, we explore virtual learning collaboration strategies, structures, and tools.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Learn how to use breakout rooms to create collaborative groups
- Explore structures to promote student-to-student communication in a virtual learning environment
- Discover collaborative work tools and strategies to engage students’ thinking during discussion
Module 6:

A NOTE FROM SHAMETRIA
Are You Ready to Level Up Your Online Learning?
I’ve been a lover of technology for many years! From taking coding classes in high school and college to building websites and teaching robotics– technology is my jam! But, the most important lesson I learned is– it’s not about the technology– it’s about you!
How we use technology only determines how our students will learn not what they will learn. We design the content, technology just makes it better!
We’re all facing an uncertain school year. Whether you’re preparing to teach 100% virtually or juggle in-person teaching and remote learning students, there are simple structures you can use to deliver your content and achieve the results you want.
Let me show you how to do it!
