What Is The Experienced Teachers Institute?

The Institute for Experienced Mathematics Teachers is a week-long, standards-based program designed to better prepare teachers for the challenges of teaching mathematics today. The institute staff, who are experienced supervisors and teachers of mathematics, will work closely with participants to respond to their particular instructional needs. For the last sixteen years, we have sponsored the Institute for New Mathematics Teachers; this Institute was developed in response to the frequent request for a similiar program for experienced teachers.

Who Should Attend?

For those who are teaching mathematics at the middle or high school level, and are interested in new ways of presenting thought-provoking material. Participants should have 3 or more years of prior teaching experience.
