2009 CPMP Course-Specific Implementation Workshops
Transforming high school mathematics is more than selecting new curriculum materials: It is rethinking and reshaping the way school mathematics is taught, learned, and assessed. The Summer 2009 Core-Plus Mathematics Project Implementation Workshops are designed for mathematics teachers currently using Core-Plus Mathematics or planning to implement the curriculum. All workshops are conducted by experienced Core-Plus Mathematics classroom teachers.

Dates and locations for both 1st and 2nd edition week-long workshops are listed below as well as links to registration forms, lodging options, and agendas.

Course-Specific Workshops Provide:

  • an overview of the four-year Core-Plus Mathematics program focusing on specific course content;

  • hands-on experiences with the curriculum materials, instructional model, and assessment strategies;

  • ideas and discussions on how to facilitate problem-based collaborative learning including reading strategies;

  • hands-on experiences with technology and software including graphing calculators and CPMP-Tools software designed to support student learning;

  • practical suggestions related to implementation issues including: teacher support, course scheduling, program evaluation, and communication with local stake-holders; and

  • sharing ideas with experienced CPMP teachers.
Costs
Fees for each week-long workshop are $450 payable by credit card, check, or purchase order.
