Meredith Mathematics & Science Institutes
The Meredith Mathematics & Science Institutes (MMSI) offer residential professional development opportunities that focus on important mathematics and science for Grades One through High School. The 2008 Institutes are designed for all classroom teachers with additional sessions designed specifically for resource teachers, lead teachers, and mathematics coordinators.
Each Institute focuses on specific mathematics or science content, delving deeply into
the content of "big ideas" that are important for the stated grades. Institutes include:
- Twelve contact hours (equivalent to 1.2 CEUs)
- Led by experienced professional development consultants
- An Institute notebook with readings and handouts
- Blackline masters for classroom use
- Ideas to use immediately to develop a problem-solving environment
- Opportunities for discussion and reflection
- A professional book
- Homework opportunities for enrichment and reflection
- A CD containing notes to help you share the content with colleagues
