Registration

Welcome to the registration for MDE's book study on Rethinking Disability and Mathematics by Rachel Lambert! We are so excited to have you join us as we explore this transformative book that challenges traditional narratives and opens the door to creating a more inclusive, equitable, and learner-centered approach to mathematics education. Together, we will delve into ways to better understand the experiences of learners with disabilities, and learn practical, research-based strategies to ensure that each and every learner has the opportunity to succeed in math. This study is not just about reading; it's about fostering meaningful conversations and empowering ourselves to implement inclusive practices that make mathematics education accessible and equitable for all. Our goal is to engage teachers, administrators, and educational leaders in meaningful discussions about how to make math instruction responsive to the needs of and joyful for all learners, particularly those with disabilities, including neurodiversity. We are thrilled to embark on this journey with you!
 

The book study will include a combination of synchronous and asynchronous components:

  • Synchronous Meetings: Held monthly, with two options each month to accommodate varying schedules:
    • Tuesdays: 3:45–4:45 PM
