UIC TIMS Project Launching Math Trailblazers PDP

The Teaching Integrated Math and Science (TIMS) Project is pleased to announce an online professional development initiative, the "Math Trailblazers Electronic Learning Community: Focus on Assessment." This initiative will explore the unique structure of the Math Trailblazers assessment program, grades 3-5. All interactions will take place online. There will be readings, activities, and discussions, all of which are focused exclusively on the use of Math Trailblazers in your classroom.

This course introduces the unique structure of the Math Trailblazers assessment program, grades 3-5 and is open to teachers in at least their second year using Math Trailblazers. All interactions will take place online. We begin with the study of the philosophy and design of the assessment program in Math Trailblazers. It includes many Web resources, is interactive and encourages much discussion among participants of concepts, ideas and strategies for sharpening the focus on assessment focused exclusively on the use of Math Trailblazers in the classroom.
