IM Math 6-8 Using Pre-Unit Diagnostic Assessment to Plan Instruction

IM Math 6-8 Using Pre-Unit Diagnostic Assessment to Plan Instruction

Join Kendall Hunt and Illustrative Mathematics for a special virtual professional learning opportunity designed just for grades 6–8 teachers. Led by IM-Certified® trainers, this session is perfect for educators in their second year or beyond of implementing IM 6–8 Math who are ready to take their use of pre-unit diagnostic assessments to the next level.

Discover how these assessments can reveal what your students already know, highlight important gaps, and help you make intentional, effective instructional decisions. You’ll also have the chance to collaborate with grade-level peers and apply your learning to plan an upcoming lesson together.

This event will be limited to the first 25 attendees who sign up. After that, additional sign-ups will be added to a wait list in case any of the initial 25 attendees cannot attend. There is a minimum of 10 registrations per each grade band to run the event. If the minimum is not met, the event will be canceled. We will communicate with you if you have been added to the wait list or if there has been any cancelations.
