MitC 2008 Summer Institute Level One August 11th - 16th, 2008 City College of New York NAC 3/217  Images from past Summer Institutes MitC Summer Institute Level One Download Application Doc PDF   Mathematics in the City (MitC) is a nationally recognized research-based project in mathematics education reform. Teachers begin their MitC work with the Summer Institute (Level One*), a six day, inquiry workshop on teaching and learning mathematics. In order to deepen their understanding of mathematics, teachers are asked to be learners in a mathematics environment where math is seen as the posing and solving of problems, the searching for patterns, and the construction of formulae, models, and strategies. Participants will learn how to develop mental math strategies through mini-lessons, as well as how to turn their classrooms into math workshops. Mathematical models (such as the open number line and the open array) that support the development of number and operation will be explored. Newly created, interactive CD-Rom materials showing video of exemplary MitC classrooms will form an integral part of the institute.  Instructional staff includes: faculty from the City College of New York, the Freudenthal Institute in the Netherlands, and a team of MitC teacher leaders.   Cost: $1000.00 per participant, includes materials. For approved local teachers, this can be paid through a NYC Board of Education purchase order: Vendor # RFC 988.190 Contract # 96000194 Tax # 13-1988190    * Local teachers may be eligible to continue throughout the school year with fall, winter, and spring workshops from our Calendar of Events.  Teachers interested in being a part of the Summer Institute should complete the application form and attach the following:  A statement describing your beliefs about the teaching and learning of mathematics, and why you are interested in taking the Summer Institute  A resume, or a brief explanation of your education background.
