Building on the enormous success of her book <em>Math Work Stations</em>, Debbie Diller brings the world of math stations to life in this DVD, showing viewers how they too can effectively incorporate math stations into their instruction, enhancing students’ conceptual understanding and skills. <br><br>Here Debbie explores both the larger purpose of math stations—how they connect big ideas to meaningful independent practice—and the detailed nuts and bolts of how to create and implement stations in the math classroom. Working with first- and second-grade teachers and students, Debbie shows how to find the time and space for math stations, how to organise and manage manipulatives, how to move from whole-group lessons that focus on a particular math concept to stations work, how to foster all-important math talk, and more. DVD extras include making “I Can Lists,” creating a stations map, and moving from stations to small-groups. <br><br><em>Moving into Math Stations, K–2</em> brings together the joy and the rigour of young children’s math learning. Join Debbie as she makes it happen.

Über Autor(innen)

<strong>Debbie Diller</strong> has been a national consultant since 2000, but she still has ""those 'back-to-school' dreams in the fall."" After playing school in the basement of her childhood home in Lititz, Pennsylvania, she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in education from Millersville University and Temple University and spent the next thirty years as an educator.<br><br>Her love of teaching stems from her love of learning. ""I have always loved learning. Becoming a teacher was a way I could share that love of learning with children and eventually, adults."" <br><br>A big part of her learning is listening to teachers and their professional development needs. ""When I work with teachers, I try to understand their needs by finding out what they know and listening to their questions. Then I begin where they are and work with them to help them take the next steps toward where they (and/or their school systems) want (them) to be. I believe in professional reading and professional learning communities, and support teachers in their quest to best meet the needs of all students in their classrooms. <br><br>Debbie's ideas for her books also come from her work with teachers. She listens for frequently asked questions, patterns, teachers' needs and keeps a writer's notebook to collect ideas, thoughts, and notes. ""Often, the old joke comes to mind: 'how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.' That's how I write: Bit by bit, on planes, in hotel rooms, in my office on a rare day. Teachers' questions and comments spur me on through my daily, ongoing work in classrooms, which sustains my work.
