Professional Learning Opportunities


NCDPI

 

NCDPI Mathematics team continues to provide sessions for the Mathematics Content Series in the 2024 Spring semester. Teachers, teacher leaders, coaches, district staff, and administrators have responded with overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Sessions are focused on elementary, middle, and high school mathematics content and pedagogy while highlighting practitioners in the field. Participants earn 2 contact hours per session. Each session meets virtually for 90 minutes with a 30-minute asynchronous reflection time. The information and resources shared are both beneficial and useful.

 Please share with teachers and leaders in your area!
