Join WI-AMTE and WMC for an in-depth discussion of the text. In our book study, we will explore the guiding theory and practical lessons in the book and share our experiences as we implement these lessons with students. We know that this year is particularly challenging, and we welcome all participants at whatever level you can engage (from reading a chapter when you can to implementing lessons and sharing the outcomes).
This book study is designed for all stakeholders including Teachers, Coaches, Administrators, and Math Instructors at the University and College level. Teachers can sign up as individuals or as faculty groups from their schools.
The discussion will be held virtually over four weeks in March: Wednesday, March 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st from 7 pm-8 pm (CST).
The cost to participate in the book study is $5 and undergraduate students can register for free. You can purchase the book from Corwin or NCTM.
