Cognitively Guided Instruction is an over 30-year research base of how K-5 students develop their mathematical knowledge and how teachers use that knowledge to adjust instruction. The conference is being held June 24-26 at the Doubletree-Park Place Hotel in the West End Neighborhood of St. Louis Park.  MCTM, SciMathMN, Project for Elementary Mathematics, and the CGI Math Teacher Learning Center are co-sponsors of the conference. While the main conference is sold out, the Research & Policy Forum Pre-Conference on Monday, June 24, from 8:30 – 1:00, still has openings. The Research & Policy Forum is intended for those who influence professional development decisions in PreK – 5 education systems to sit down with national school district and research personnel and review findings from key studies that capture student achievement data. Four levels of studies will be presented with opportunities to discuss implications for making decisions in school districts, informal education settings, and state policy settings. Large-scale longitudinal data from an experimental study in Central Florida, District-wide student achievement data from Little Rock, AR and San Diego, CA, school building data from a site in Washington State, and classroom data from sites in Minnesota and Columbus, OH will be presented. This is a chance to have a close look at what common elements are helping to bend the curve in the area of student achievement.
