The workshop is a five-day workshop. The workshop builds a foundation for both the content and pedagogy of Investigations, thus it is critical that participants learn, reflect and discuss issues as the week progresses. Investigations units and materials that support it are not for sale at our workshops. The curriculum was developed at TERC but the publisher is Scott Foresman. You will receive a catalog at our workshop, with detailed information about how and where to purchase units and materials.
Professional development is an ongoing process.
This is a good first step to get acquainted with the materials, the pedagogy, and how children think about mathematics. I have gone to more than 20 with teacher training and professional development. This one has opened my eyes and affirmed my belief that children learn in different ways. I have been teaching Investigations for one year. We find that many teachers in our workshops have used the curriculum in their classrooms for one year and say they are glad to have this opportunity.
