CUNY CCI Professional Development Seminars

CUNY CCI currently offers two professional development seminars. One is for literacy teachers and the other is for math teachers.

Reading and Writing Practices for High School Equivalency

Reading and Writing Practices for High School Equivalency will focus on the teacher's role in helping students read and respond to higher level texts.

Teachers will learn to:

Model effective reading strategies such as paraphrasing, annotating, summarizing and self-questioning

Help students learn to identify and evaluate writers' claims and evidence and respond effectively to texts in writing.

Mathematics Learning for High School Equivalency

Mathematics Learning for High School Equivalency will focus on implementing the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice in the classroom, with an emphasis on student thinking and cognitively challenging mathematical tasks.

Teachers will learn to:

Help students make sense of problems and persevere in solving them; construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others and model with mathematics.

Develop on inquiry-based math class, focused on problem-solving, social learning and quantitative reasoning
