Workshop Description

Figuring Out Fluency: Beyond Facts and Algorithms

Fluency is more than basic facts and algorithms. It is complex and teaching it well is challenging. To find success, we must know what it is so that we can teach it well. This session unpacks the big ideas of fluency arming participants with practical know-how for advancing their students’ fluency. Participants will take a deep dive into teaching, practicing, and assessing the strategies of fluent students. Learning will be complemented with ready-to-use classroom resources.
