SUMMARY:Two Part Webinar - Unlock Math Strategies for Teaching Fractions\, Decimals\, and Percentages
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, April 8\, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. ET; Monday\, April13\, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. ET\nInstructor: Jonte Myers\, PhD\nGrades: 3 – 8\nLocation: Virtual Webinar; 2 sessions\nCredentials: 2 Approved CTLE Hours \nDescription:  \nSession 1\, April 8: Building Conceptual Understanding of Fractions and Decimals  \nThis session challenges the common approach of teaching fractions as “parts of shapes” and decimals as “numbers with dots.” Participants learn how to help students understand fractions and decimals as numbers on the number line with magnitude and position—laying the foundation for all future work with rational numbers. The session introduces the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) framework for building meaning before teaching procedures.  \nKey Learning Objectives  \n\nUnderstand why “parts of a whole” is insufficient for building fraction/decimal understanding\nExplain how place value connects whole numbers\, decimals\, and fractions Identify common student\n misconceptions about fractions and decimals (and why they persist) \nUse the CRA framework to build conceptual understanding before introducing procedures \nApply strategies for helping students see fractions and decimals as numbers with magnitude \n\nSession 2\, April 13: Connecting Fractions\, Decimals\, Percentages\, and Ratios  \nThis session builds on Session 1 by helping teachers see fractions\, decimals\, percentages\, and ratios as different representations of the same proportional relationships. Students who understand these connections can move flexibly between representations and apply proportional reasoning to real-world contexts. The session addresses both percentages (real-world applications like discounts\, tax\, and percent change) and ratios (multiplicative relationships\, unit rates\, and proportional thinking).  \nKey Learning Objectives  \n\nExplain how fractions\, decimals\, and percentages represent the same mathematical relationships \nTeach students to convert flexibly between fractions\, decimals\, and percentages (with understanding\, not just rules) \nUse ratio reasoning to solve problems involving unit rates\, scaling\, and proportional relationships \nAddress common student errors with percentages (e.g.\, percent increase/decrease\, finding the whole) \nApply strategies for teaching word problems involving ratios and percentages as sense-making (not keyword hunting)

SUMMARY:2026 Robert J Schwartz Memorial Lecture with Phil Capin
DESCRIPTION:Every child deserves to become a confident\, capable reader — but for many\, the path there is anything but straightforward. Dr. Phil Capin\, Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and director of the BRIDGES Lab\, is at the forefront of changing that. This spring\, he brings his groundbreaking work to our community. Join us for the 2026 Robert J. Schwartz Memorial Lecture as Dr. Capin presents Unlocking Reading Comprehension in All Learners. \nFollowing the keynote\, attendees are invited to stay for a light reception\, where you’ll have the opportunity to interact with fellow attendees and Dr. Capin. \nJoin us virtually or in-person at The Windward School’s Westchester Middle School campus\, 40 W. Red Oak Lane\, White Plains\, NY. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
