Did you miss Juli and Alex Dixon’s “Changing the World for Students with Special Needs” session at NCTM 2015? Well, you're not out of luck yet! Houghton Mifflin Harcourt™ is pleased to provide you with videos and information about A Stroke of Luck below.
Starring
 |
HMH® author Dr. Juli Dixon partners with her daughter Alex to present strategies for helping students with special needs succeed—in school and in life. Alex Dixon was a normal, bright, healthy girl, when a sudden onset of a mysterious illness took over her life. Doctors across the country were at a loss. A last attempt at treatment—brain surgery—stopped the spasms but caused a massive stroke. At age 12, Alex had to relearn everything. Now 18, Alex provides a personal account of strategies for supporting a student with special needs to learn mathematics with depth. Juli Dixon, Alex’s mom, is professor of mathematics education at the University of Central Florida. Juli used everything she knew about teaching and learning to “re-teach” Alex. Her perspectives on “what worked” are relevant to current issues in mathematics education in general as well as to teaching students with special needs. |
