Appropriate for high school math teachers

This past summer, LAPDA continued to offer the extremely popular Improving Math Instruction: Using Vertical Acceleration with Mahesh Sharma. Once again the high school participants from the region expressed interest in a targeted session for secondary content and instructional design. In response to this feedback, LAPDA will offer a 2 day extension to the week-long course this summer. This course will be exclusively for high school teachers who have taken the week-long course.

This course is currently being designed based on your feedback - more information to come!
