The Investigations Workshops are intensive professional development opportunities for K-5 teachers and administrators. These workshops have been designed by the developers of the Investigations in Number, Data and Space curriculum, and are led by teams comprised of developers, Investigations authors, and experienced classroom teachers. The workshop will familiarize you with the content of Investigations in Number, Data, and Space . Participants engage in sessions in which they examine their own computation strategies and look closely at the strategies K-5 students develop. Participants are encouraged to apply in teams of at least 2 teachers from 1 school.
Space is limited.
The Investigations Workshops staff also work with schools or districts to arrange ongoing work with a consultant. The Investigations Implementation Center is offers professional development opportunities for schools and districts that are implementing the Investigations in Number, Data, and Space K-5 mathematics curriculum. This Institute is designed for teams of experienced teachers, teacher leaders, staff developers, curriculum coordinators and other administrators who play lead roles in supporting classroom teachers and deciding upon, planning for, and carrying out professional development. This Institute is not designed to give an orientation to the curriculum, nor to prepare teachers to teach it in their classrooms. For information on professional development experience designed for beginning and for more advanced classroom teachers, see Investigations Workshops for Transforming Mathematics.
