Join the Detroit Zoo on Friday, December 16, for an exciting in-person workshop with José Franco at the Detroit Zoo. José, a consultant from WestEd, is a teacher with extensive experience bringing engaging content that can easily be recreated in classrooms or at home. He also serves as the director of Math Pathways and Pitfalls, an award-winning curriculum designed to offer math intervention for students in grades K-8. During his session, he will give insight on how to incorporate math lessons into programming in a way that is fun and engaging and helps break down misconceptions and bridge understanding of concepts.
