Which One Is Keeping You Stuck?

Problem #1
Your day is already jam packed with all the things and guided math just sounds like one more thing on your overwhelming to do list.

Problem #2
You're constantly spinning your wheels trying to figure out how to find time to fit each piece of your curriculum into your day.

Problem #3
You don’t even try to teach guided math because you “know” that you don’t have enough time to fit in all of the components so it feels pointless to even try.

And no matter how hard you try, you’re struggling to come up with a schedule that actually works for your math block. Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth, friend, if you’re going to create a math block that fully supports all of your students, then you’re going to have to get real about, well, guided math!

- It doesn’t matter how many years of experience you have. Students need small group instruction now more than ever. If you don’t know how to set up your math block with a balanced schedule, the learning gaps will continue to be there no matter how hard you try.

- The best teachers out there are the ones who are willing to grow and adapt right along with their students.
They know that education is constantly changing. In order to make that change, the first step you need to take is creating a schedule that fits your classroom.

- It doesn’t matter if you have 45 minutes or 90 minutes to teach math, it is possible to teach the guided math framework.
Because at the end of the day, if you don’t know how to fit it all in, your instruction isn’t going to get very far, right?

You Will Learn:

01. How to create a schedule for your math block.
Inside this free 45 minute training, you are going to focus on creating a schedule for your math block, so that that when you finish, you’ll know exactly what your math time should look like.

02. How to adapt whatever schedule is thrown at you to still fit math block in.
You'll take a look at several different math block schedules so that you're able to easily adapt guided math to your classroom needs year after year.

03. How to implement small group instruction.
By the end of your time together with Marcy, you’ll have a schedule nailed down and ready to go, so you can finally stop thinking about how to fit it all into your day and actually start implementing small group instruction to meet the needs of all your students.
