All Learners Network, INC

This series of professional learning workshops, centered around the All Learners Network (ALN) Math Menu framework, provides educators with highly practical and evidence-based strategies for differentiated math instruction. The sessions support understanding the benefits of and putting into practice a Math Menu block, covering critical components from asset-based progress monitoring using the new Windowpanes Sets, to effective methods for embedding problem-solving and journaling routines. A significant focus is placed on leveraging mathematics games, categorized by early number, additive, multiplicative, fractional, and middle school reasoning. The goal of embedding math games into our instructional routines is to foster deeper student understanding, discussion, and practice aligned with High Leverage Concepts (HLCs). Participants will leave each workshop with a clear pedagogical rationale, actionable implementation steps, and concrete samples and resources from the robust All Learners Online (ALO) Math Menu library, ensuring they can confidently build and sustain effective Math Menu practices throughout the school year. 

• Focus: Building the foundational pedagogical knowledge and practical routines for launching the Math Menu framework in the first six weeks of the school year.
• Why Attend: The Math Menu is ALN's effective framework for differentiating and enhancing mathematics instruction. Learn how to effectively roll out this structure to ensure students receive the necessary second and third layers of instructional support (targeted to their specific needs) while working independently.
• Key Takeaways: Participants will gain a general understanding of the instructional design process for Math Menu and receive a potential 6-week roll-out plan to build from for back-to-school preparation.

Note: You do not need to participate in all workshops to benefit from the series. However, we want to note that these sessions are intentionally designed to build on and connect to one another as you hone your Math Menu practice throughout the school year.
