Welcome to the CESA 6 "Math Lab" -- Virtual Office Hours

Each month the CESA 6 Math team will open it’s virtual office doors and feature a specific topic to guide the discussion, such as "Integrating Authentic Assessment in Math Class" or "Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learners." This structured approach ensures a focused and productive conversation. However, the open-hour format also allows for participants to bring their own challenges and questions to the table. Educators can seek consultation and discussion on any pressing issue they face, whether it's related to classroom management, a specific student's needs, or a new textbook.

Virtual via Zoom: Registrants will receive an email the day before each Office Hours session that will have the Zoom link.
