How long do your workshops last?

Seven days

How many teachers do you involve in your workshops?

155 teachers

What are your major goals for your workshops in terms of content and pedagogy?

The goal of the Summer Workshops is to actively involve teachers in learning how to most effectively implement Everyday Mathematics, addressing specifically grade level curriculum, sample lessons, student assessment, classroom management, parent involvement, material development, and collaborative networking.

Are you offering professional development on specific curricula that you are hoping will be used in the classroom? If so, which curricula are you using?
