*Mathematics Leadership At Work: Tools and Strategies to Optimize
Instruction and grow Achievement*
NCSM is now accepting invitations to host its 2015 three-day NCSM
Leadership Academy, Mathematics Leadership at Work: Tools and Strategies to
Optimize Teaching and Grow Achievement. These Academies are extremely
successful and regularly sell-out before the close of advance registration.
We are only able to support a limited number of sites each summer and
therefore encourage hosting sites to apply as early as possible.
PROPOSAL DEADLINE: AUGUST 30, 2014
Why Host an NCSM Leadership Academy?
- To bring an NCSM national professional development experience to large
numbers of mathematics education leaders in your district and surrounding
area. (Minimize travel costs!)
- To engage all members of your local leadership team in a shared
professional learning and planning experience.
- To negotiate dates that best suits your need (between June 22 and
August 15, 2015).
Who Should Attend an NCSM Leadership Academy?
Mathematics specialists/coaches, teacher leaders, administrators,
coordinators, mentors, directors, supervisors, department chairs, or anyone
who influences and supports others in mathematics education will greatly
benefit from this practical and inspired Academy. Teams are especially
encouraged to attend as the Academy provides an extraordinary opportunity
to collaborate on-site work setting goals and planning next steps for the
2015-2016 school year.
