Continuing Education Credit (CEC) Modules
Continuing Education Credit (CEC) research- and standards-based online modules will focus on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Process Standards. The process standards are not clearly delineated by the Sunshine State Standards. However, the process standards describe the way mathematics is learned as well as taught. Students learn by making connections, by representing and communicating their ideas, and by being able to reason and prove why something works. Students also learn mathematics in contexts that make sense to them by exploring rich mathematics tasks. The process standard modules will help teachers develop a deeper understanding of their own content knowledge and, at the same time, give them the tools to better understand their students’ thinking.
