Program Overview
“Powerful Teaching and Learning in the Secondary Math Classroom” delivers powerful teaching and learning strategies focused on the specific needs of the math classroom.
As schools nationwide struggle to address the achievement gap in math and science disciplines, the need for targeted and specific professional development opportunities in this area has grown ever more urgent. Math teachers demand specific programs to address their specific needs. We’ve developed these institutes to give these teachers the specialized focus that they deserve.
