“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and professional responsibility to attend convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district.

Supporting mathematics problem solving instruction with metacognitive self-regulation strategies

Did you find your students struggling with self-regulation when teaching in online environments?  
In face-to-face environments, teachers use a variety of routines and strategies to support student learning. Many of these routines do not shift well to changing learning environments, nor do they foster independent learning skills. 
Research has shown that metacognitive skills are strong predictors of academic performance. Many interventions on metacognition are stand-alone programs but there is some evidence to suggest that integrating metacognitive instruction within existing curriculum is beneficial for student learning and is more time efficient for educators. Furthermore, metacognitive self-regulation strategies have been proven to improve mathematical problem solving for students, in particular for students with low mathematics performance. 
Using metacognitive strategies, the PASS model provides a math problem solving approach for elementary and junior high students. The PASS model breaks problem solving down into four steps: planning, acting, solving, and showing. Using this model, we will demonstrate how educators can teach students how to use strategies related to planning, organizing, and self-monitoring. The PASS model is designed to be used in multiple learning contexts, including both face-to-face and online environments. This workshop will provide ways educators can incorporate metacognitive strategies into their mathematics problem solving instruction. Participants will be introduced to the PASS model and provided examples of how incorporate the model for their classroom and grade-level curriculum.
