Take this Course!

I remember the first time I attended a session with Shannon years ago when she taught a class for our district! It was the best in-service I had attended in years! So informative, spot on, engaging, helpful, and insightful! I went to our principal and told her the district needs to have her back and they did! This last online webinar I attended was amazing, very helpful and provided great resources that I could use instantly in my Goggle Classroom and even beyond in my classroom when school resumes! Shannon knows Kinders, knows how they think and what to do to help all of them at any level get them excited about learning math! I can't say enough but if you are able to take a class, seminar or order some of her resources you definitely should! It will be more than worth your time and investment! Thank you Shannon!

So Helpful

Zonna B

It's so helpful to have materials that match our Math Expressions lessons and what students know from the classroom. I will use these slides during my teaching videos and can ask the same questions that we used in quick practice/daily routines and know that students know how to respond at home and that they can record themselves and send to me.

Deepen Instruction

Amy R.

Shannon's webinar provided many ideas, examples, and resources to support distance learning. It also helped me to see how to "deepen" my math instruction while being physically apart from my students.
