Cynthia Bell is the Numeracy and Youth Specialist from the NY Literacy Assistance Center & ANN’s NCTM Representative

In her talk Cynthia share her own developing work on both how to draw out and how to use student understanding in her teaching. Cynthia suggests that we are students of our students’ thinking and asks that we collect information and use that information to adjust our instruction. Bell encourages us to talk about how to get student feedback as we teach, how to act on what we learn and how to make sure the adjustments we make are producing the outcomes we are looking for.
