This 5-day certificate course will allow teachers to investigate how students learn and collaboratively design instruction to meet the needs of individual students.

Teachers will receive 3 graduate credits upon completion as well as All Learners Network Clinical Interview Certification.

Teachers need to gather evidence and uncover what children think and know about important mathematical ideas in order to choose the just-right instruction and design purposeful learning opportunities.

During this course, teachers will:
*review the literature that supports the use of clinical interviews.
*gain experience and knowledge about the purpose of clinical interviews.
*design clinical interviews based on math content knowledge and student observations, student work, and student profiles.
*practice and administer of multiple clinical interviews to students in a math lab setting.
*collect additional student evidence focused on math content during the clinical interview.
*analyze the results of clinical interviews and design the next instructional steps.

Each weekend session for the course will include math content exploration, administration and observation of clinical interviews with various-aged students, analysis of student data, and collaborative lesson planning that will support student learning.

Follow-up Days: Friday and Saturday October 21 & 22; Friday, November 11 from 9:00am-3:00pm EST
