• Collaboratively prepare and field test lessons that incorporate the eight standards for mathematical practices of CCSSM.
• Observe demonstration classes with highly effective teaching strategies.
• Intensive learning experience through challenging mathematical and pedagogical tasks in an enjoyable environment.
• Change the way you think about teaching mathematics.
• Learn to use dynamic mathematics software to explore concepts.
• Take back implementation techniques of CCSS into your own school.
• Earn a $250 stipend and optional 2 units of Fresno State professional development credit (cost $75/unit).
• School/District Support: Registration fee $650 (before May 1st), $750 (after May 1st).
