Access for All: Practical Ways to Adjust Tier 1 Math Tasks, K-3
a Hybrid Mini Series with Kateri Thunder, Ph.D
HALF DAY VIRTUAL: February 4th, February 19, March 24, 2026, 9am-12pm
FULL DAY IN-PERSON: April 15th, 2026, 9am-3:30pm
How do I adjust my Tier 1 math tasks so that every learner can actively and meaningfully participate?
Join us for an energizing mini-series focused on making Tier 1 math tasks truly accessible for every young learner.
We’ll explore simple, powerful adjustments that help all students take part in meaningful mathematical thinking—whether they’re working in whole-group routines, small-group investigations, partner tasks, or independent practice. Using familiar programs like Investigations, Bridges, and Illustrative Math—plus rich resources like Thinking Classrooms routines, 3-Act Tasks, Slow Reveal Graphs, and Esti-Mysteries—we’ll try out and adapt real tasks together.
We’re a non-profit on a mission to improve Vermont schools through quality professional learning for educators.
CVEDC is Vermont’s largest educational service agency (ESA), reaching educators throughout Vermont for over 15 years.
