STREAM: Teachers Needed

MCTM Members and Math Teachers:

Please consider this opportunity for yourself or a colleague. The STREAM project is highly regarded, very rewarding, and lots of fun! If you can’t participate yourself, please send this to a fellow teacher with a note of encouragement. A personal endorsement from you is worth more than 10,000 words! Thank you for helping us recruit!

The STREAM project has been funded for a fourth year! Our new activities focus on high school teachers, but we are continuing programs for K-8 teachers as well. STREAM offers something for everyone who wants to  explore big ideas in mathematics, dig into Montana’s math standards, and gain experience with effective mathematical practices for teachers and students.

This year's STREAM offerings are listed below. Each program title links directly to more information on the STREAM Web site at www.STREAMmath.org. All programs are FREE and cover expenses for travel, lodging, and materials. All programs offer credit or OPI renewal units. Learn more about the benefits by linking to the program pages. You can also view a 5-minute overview video at  http://tinyurl.com/streammathvideo

The first three offerings require an online application, with a deadline of September 30^th. We strongly encourage rural, underserved, and high-need schools and districts. Don’t delay – jump in the STREAM!  Click on the links below to go to the STREAM website page for each program.
