GEOCLOCK FUNDAMENTALS WORKSHOP©

Workshop Objectives:

General: Successful completion of this workshop will enable the educator to understand how the GeoClock, an educational tool and method, strengthens students’ temporal and spatial orientation by providing concrete representations of time, fractions, and geometric shapes

Specific: Upon completion of this course, the participant will:

1. Define temporal orientation and articulate how movement can support students’ understanding of artificial time.
2. Understand how temporal and spatial orientation impacts students’ mathematical understanding and outcomes for students in grades K-2.
3. Understand how the GeoClock supports students’ development of cognitive, non-cognitive, perceptual, and academic skills and encourages divergent thinking.
4. Use the GeoClock educational tool to design and implement K-2 grade lessons on time, fractions, and geometric shapes.
