EDUC 591F - Workshop: Private Universe Project in Mathematics

Research shows that children formulate extraordinarily interesting and complex mathematical ideas, even at a very young age. This course demonstrates and honors the power and sophistication of these ideas, and explores how mathematics teaching can be structured to resonate with children's sophisticated thinking. This workshop offers the rare opportunity to follow the mathematical development of one group of students throughout grades 1-12, and to observe teachers in the process of redefining what mathematics is for themselves and for their students.

This workshop for K-12 educators consists of six one-hour video programs, an online workshop guide and a supporting website. Review the coursework requirements.

Annenberg Media (formerly Annenberg/CPB) funds and distributes multimedia professional development courses and resources to advance excellent teaching in American schools. These educational video programs with coordinated Web and text materials help teachers enhance their expertise in their fields and refine their teaching methods. The School of Education at Colorado State University offers graduate credit for teachers enrolled in these professional development courses. Educational video programs with coordinated interactive web and text resources form the basis for these courses and can be accessed at the Annenberg Media website.
