MESC VAI - It A
August 6, 2026 - 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Help bring the power of inquiry learning into math instruction! In this workshop, teachers will have an opportunity to see the world through their students’ eyes by learning brand new math content. As they move from concrete, hands-on experiences to abstract understanding, teachers will gain a deeper appreciation for how powerful mathematics instruction can be when it’s fueled by curiosity and deep conceptual understanding.
Participants will also explore how to create a rich learning environment, how inquiry math integrates with the Common Core State Standards, and how to implement specific strategies to become the world’s most incredible
math teachers!

This event is being hosted by the Diocese of Grand Rapids and will take place at:
Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids | 360 Division Ave. S. | Grand Rapids, MI
