SUMMARY:National Webinar Series | Engaging Families in Math through Storybooks
DESCRIPTION:What if story time could also be math time? While math can feel unfamiliar\, storybooks offer a powerful bridge by grounding mathematical ideas in stories families already know and love. In this webinar\, Margaret Caspe\, from the Center for Family Math\, explores what family math looks like through shared reading across the many spaces where families learn including homes\, libraries\, schools\, and community settings. Grounded in the Family Math Core Competencies—Reflect\, Connect\, Collaborate\, and Lead—participants will learn how to notice the many ways math shows up in storybooks and use reading as an entry point for meaningful math conversations. Leave with practical strategies to design joyful\, culturally grounded experiences that position families as partners in children’s mathematical learning. \nREGISTER NOW\n  \nSpeaker: \n \n  \nMargaret Caspe\, PhD is the NAFSCE’s Senior Research Consultant. She co-leads the Pre-Service Family Engagement Consortium which is a collaborative of national partners and state and higher education teams dedicated to supporting educator preparation in family engagement. Over the past 20 years\, she has studied how partnerships among families\, schools\, and communities influence children’s development in a variety of areas\, including language and literacy\, and bilingualism\, as well as science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM). Prior to joining NAFSCE she worked with the Global Family Research Project and Harvard Family Research Project where she developed tools to support faculty in developing courses on family engagement topics and oversaw a project to amplify family engagement in public libraries. She is co-editor of Promising Practices for Engaging Families in STEM Learning and author of a variety of articles published in journals such as Early Childhood Research Quarterly\, Public Library Quarterly\, School Community Journal\, Childhood Education\, and Young Children. As an advisory member of various national collaboratives\, including the Family Math Roadmap Project\, she provides insights on the intersection of research\, practice\, and policy to promote innovative family engagement strategies. Margaret earned her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the Steinhardt School of Culture\, Education\, and Human Development at New York University\, where she currently teaches courses as an adjunct faculty member. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and three daughters.
