How to Run a Math Teachers' Circle
"How to run a Math Teachers' Circle" WorkshopsJune 22-26, 2009, AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA July 27-31, 2009, MAA Carriage House Conference Center, Washington, D.C. In Summer 2009, AIM anticipates holding two workshops on "How to Run a Math Teachers' Circle." Every aspect of organizing and running a MTC will be covered, from the logistics of recruitment and finding a venue through the long-term goals of evaluating the success of local programs and raising funds for continued sustainability. Days will start with mock MTC sessions so that teams become familiar with the style and content associated with the program and will end with guided planning sessions. During the course of the week, each team who attends will develop a concrete plan for how to run their own local MTC. Participation is entirely free of charge, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.
Who Should Attend?Running a MTC is a team effort that requires collaboration across traditional educational boundaries. We are seeking six teams of five people to attend each workshop. Each team should consist of two middle school math teachers, two mathematicians, and one administrator or other organizer.Click here to download a copy of the brochure.
