Enrolling in Courses

Teachers enjoy a light moment during a break from studying.

Cohorts of teachers engage in a sequence of 5 courses designed to develop mathematical and pedagogical content knowledge for teachers in grades 1–6, and to expand their tools and skills to become math teacher leaders in their schools.

Courses meet primarily online with one initial Saturday face-to-face meeting at the Learning Sciences Research Institute, 1240 West Harrison, Suite 1535A, Chicago, IL. 60607.
