Richard Elmore, Grant Wiggins, and a myriad other researchers concur that one of the most effective ways to improve student learning is to upgrade the tasks students are given. The NYC DOE requires teachers to create “performance tasks”, and many teachers are working to meet that goal. This rigorous, hands-on session will:

• • Examine the characteristics of tasks worth doing
• • Analyze tasks from a “big ideas” perspective
• • Provide guidelines for teachers to convert superficial or narrow mathematical problems
  
  • into more cognitively demanding tasks
• • Provide teachers with tools for identifying, adapting and /or creating rich tasks
• • Consider the relationship between rich tasks and differentiation
• • Practice their new skills in real time with colleagues from across the NYC
