A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

In my many years as a special education teacher, math specialist and instructional coach, I have learned just how critical it is to have dozens of practical, classroom-proven strategies that work for our students with math learning disabilities. As a teacher of students with dyscalculia – a learning disability in math – I understand the challenges of trying to help students with significant math learning needs to find success.

Just like you, I want every student to succeed. For those struggling with a math disability, we want success even more. I have created this seminar specifically to share dozens of practical techniques and tools for making math learning more accessible for students like yours.

Please join me for an interactive, engaging day full of practical ideas and solutions. We'll explore the best strategies for helping your students with special needs overcome the mathematical obstacles that keep them from believing they can learn and do math. We'll examine barriers that curriculum often presents by not targeting the main area(s) of struggle our students with math disabilities face – and what we can do about it.

My goal is to give you the tools needed to remove the obstacles standing in the way of learning success for your struggling students with math learning disabilities. Let's work together to break the cycle of failure and instead show them the way out!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Castro

P.S. Join me for an interactive day of learning and leave with an extensive digital resource handbook filled with dozens of practical strategies for supporting your students with special needs in math!
