Suite Fractions - How to Teach and Assess Mastery of Fractions with Classroom Suite Thursday, August 21

Core Content Connectors, the new standards for students with significant disabilities built on the Common Core, are based on “Graduated Understandings,” ranging from the Concrete to the Representational, that enable students to grasp complex concepts. Understanding fractions is a complex skill that has historically been difficult for students with significant disabilities to grasp, yet fractions are emphasized on state Alternate Assessments. Using weekly cooking activities and transforming them into Classroom Suite’s dynamic, electronic format will provide teachers with an engaging interactive tool to teach this complex skill. Teachers will have step-by-step instructions on how to create a powerful Classroom Suite motivator in learning about fractions and then link the activity to an assessment paralleling the format of the Alternate Assessment. • Time: 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM CDT • Presenter: Linda Laverty, MA ed. • Level: Beginner  From Education Week and JAMF Software: Helping Teachers Manage iPads in the Digital Classroom With the Casper Suite and its free iOS app, Casper Focus, schools have the industry's easiest way to manage every Apple device they use, including iPads.
