The University of California's Berkeley Extension, in cooperation with Key Curriculum Press, will present three California Mathematics Professional Development Institutes in San Diego, CA this year. For over ten years the two have presented week-long summer institutes of outstanding quality for mathematics teachers. These institutes draw teachers who wish to deepen their subject-area knowledge, familiarize themselves with technology tools for math and learning, and share successful strategies for raising student performance. This will help cover the cost of instruction and materials for the entire year-long program. To enroll, download, complete, and submit the enrollment form .

Start with an intensive Summer Institute. This Institute will emphasize making sense of numbers, variables, expressions, equations, and graphs as they relate to algebraic concepts. Prior experience with the technology is helpful, but not necessary. Plus, you'll engage in new models for problem solving and proof, learn about higher-order thinking skills, and examine alternatives to traditional assessment. Investigate trigonometry, the role of proof, conic sections, and other topics while you learn how The Geometer's Sketchpad works as a mathematical modeling tool and an exploratory environment for mathematics.
