I am interested…
I am interested in CTI’s professional development to CMS teachers …You have a very nice WebSite…
I teach middle school math, which seminar would be best for my age group and curriculum?
Thanks for your interest, Heather. All CTI seminars are interdisciplinary and multi-grade level – that’s a key feature of the CTI program. We have teachers from a wide variety of subject areas and grade levels in each seminar, with the teachers bringing their own creativity and experience to develop new, engaging curriculum for their own students that relates to concepts explored together in the seminar. All CTI seminars are open to math teachers who can relate the seminar topics to their curriculum goals. CTI’s Artificial Intelligence seminar will be led by Raghu Ramanujan, assistant professor of mathematics and computer science at Davidson College. He is very interested in working with math teachers and teachers from all grades and subject areas in exploring AI concepts related to math, science, social sciences, technology, language arts and more. All CTI seminar leaders are dedicated to helping CTI Fellows meet their curriculum goals – in new and creative ways!
If you have never participated in the CTI Fellowship, you absolutely MUST! I’m just beginning this experience, and I already know it will be one of the most rewarding professional development opportunities I have ever pursued!
