The Standards for Mathematical Practice
Starting November 4th, elementary teachers from Alpena, Montmorency, and Alcona counties will continue to refine their questioning techniques through the lens of the SMPs. On the docket this year: SMPs 3, 6 and 7.
Ignite Your Science Instruction!
Get ready to bring energy and "fire" back to your science instruction! Although registration is already closed for this event, the AMA/Iosco Math Science Center is excited to partner with COOR Math Science Center to engage elementary teachers in the shifts in science instruction as outlined by the Michigan Science Standards. Be on the look-out for additional science professional learning opportunities in the months to come!
