Yesterday, Taylor and I represented UO at MCLS. We presented with colleagues from different universities on math vocabulary and highlighted the components of a @UOCTLResearch Grade 2 whole number intervention that enhances "math talk" opportunities for students.

[Gena Nelson @GenaNelsonPhD]

It was exciting to see all of the great research being presented on day 1 of the MCLS conference. Great job to Madison and Emily for representing two UO CTL projects!

I'm excited to get started on this new IES funded project with @SutherlandMarah @LinaShanley @BenClarke74 Taylor, Kevie, & Peter!

[University of Oregon Center on Teaching & Learning @UOCTLResearch]

Congratulations to @GenaNelsonPhD and her Co-PIs for this newly funded project through the National Center for Special Education Research!

I was excited to see that our research synthesis was cited in Education Week! @rscodding @DrAllysonKiss @DrSoyoungPark
https://t.co/FNmurfpl3d Great to see @educationweek has been focusing on the importance of #math screening and instruction.

[Gena Nelson @GenaNelsonPhD]

@ssequinn @ssequinn Agreed! Interesting report: teacher prep programs continue to fall short on math methods even with growth in recent years (https://t.co/wXGkl01LG7). And, we need more PD for teachers in math (as reported by Perry et al., 2015).

Grateful for the opportunity to travel to Bogotá this week to present on EBPs in math to ~50 teachers who work abroad and want to learn more about #bestpractices for supporting students with disabilities. The K-12 school that hosted us was beautiful! #specialeducation #mtss #math
