4/23/19: Harriet and I shared with the rest of the department some of our big takeaways from the NYSAIS Brain conference we attended 3/6-8. Jessica wasn’t able to attend this meeting as she was on the junior trip. We had a fruitful discussion about working memory, the interplay of reading disorders and ADHD, and dyscalculia. We discussed working with the math department and lower school teachers to share what we have been learning about learning and attention issues and how they impact math performance for students.
