MAPSS Grant 2015 #MAPSS
Summer & Fall Progress
MAPSS Summer Institute 2015
One of the outstanding features of this professional development was the opportunity teachers were allowed to have through the interactive PBL Camp. Partnering districts provided a total of 101 students that traveled to Wake Forest University's Bridger Field House for math problem-based learning activities. Typically professional development does not allow for teachers to experiment with newly learned strategies and resources. We were fortunate to utilize our MAPSS grant for this unique experience that grew teachers and students!
Partnering School Districts:
Year 1 Participants:
Alamance-Burlington Schools: 17 participants
Davidson County Schools: 20 participants
Lexington City Schools: 9 participants
Mount Airy City Schools: 9 participants
Randolph County Schools: 15 participants
MAPSS Summer Institute was a huge success!
