Here are some recommended intensive programs available this summer focusing on Singapore Math. These events are especially helpful if a school is looking to enhance the knowledge of a Math Coach. ( I’ll be presenting on developing a Math Coach at the National Conference for Singapore Math Strategies – See below)
If your school is considering sending more than three or four teachers to one of these programs, you may find it’s more cost-effective and powerful to provide customized professional development for your entire school!
