Throughout the year, IU 13 offers professional development workshops for educators featuring best practices in the various aspects of mathematics instruction. A Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Academy is held each summer, offering local teachers and administrators opportunities to hear nationally known experts in STEM education.
Math-Science Partnership Grant Program
IU 13 has received a federal Math-Science Partnership grant, which is supporting a 3-year professional development program and action research study called Project ARRMS (Achieving Rigor and Relevance in Math and Science). Project ARRMS will operate through the 2012-13 school year, and currently involves over 100 teachers from 22 school districts and 6 nonpublic schools. Click here for more details on Project ARRMS.
On-site Consultation and Technical Assistance
IU 13 offers on-site consultation and technical assistance in enhancing a standards-aligned system for mathematics education at the district, school, and classroom levels, with a particular focus on curriculum alignment and prioritization.
Networking/Learning Communities
This service provides a forum to discuss best practices in curriculum, assessment and instruction for the mathematics department coordinators/supervisors/leaders. Shared learning experiences and collaborative projects that benefit the greater group are common outcomes.
Mathematics Points of Contact
This service provides a forum for math education leaders to keep abreast of the most current information from PDE and math professional organizations. This group serves as a collaborative resource for regional professional development activities and assists in building math leadership capacity in home schools/districts.
