Our mission is to support educators in their quest to provide quality instruction to middle school and high school mathematics students.
Some teachers have requested refresher high school level mathematics sessions to gain perspective regarding what their students will need to know for future courses. Other teachers have wanted to see alternative ways to present particular topics. Teachers have requested support in using graphing calculators to enhance their lessons.
In response to these requests, the Center for Recruitment and Retention is happy to announce a series of teacher workshops. Our intent is to provide hands-on, graphing-calculator enriched lessons so that teachers can deepen their mathematical understandings.
We appreciate any suggestions you have for additional workshops.
