Field Study Days
A Field Study Day offers educators an opportunity to be critical observers in learning environments in which The Number Lab Math Block is the decided model for mathematics learning. Participants begin their Field Study experience by meeting with members of our team to discuss the Math Block model, which includes ways of thinking and practices that help to build learning communities. Participants also receive general information concerning the community of learners they will observe and the mathematics terrain they are set to traverse. Following the briefing session, participants move into the learning space to observe from the perimeter. A Number Lab team member periodically offers explanations to aid observers in understanding certain interactions, instructional choices, and approaches to specific content. Some of these discussions may require participants to retreat from the learning space, gathering in another space for more detailed analysis. After concluding their observations of an entire Math Block, participants are extended the opportunity to share thoughts and questions. They are also provided resources concerning the supportive practices and ideas of the Math Block, allowing them to have a more comprehensive understanding of our math learning model.
Field Study Days can occur in a specific classroom of learners on your campus, or you may visit us at our micro school, Long-View, in Austin, Texas.

“It’s like I missed out on so much conceptual learning as a child. And I got here and I was able to be a child again and feel like my thoughts, my discourse, mattered to the whole community. And I wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable. ”
