I highly recommend CPS teachers try to visit this workshop. Margaret was a mentor to me early in my CPS days, and has some tremendous ideas about how teachers can collaborate to make teaching and learning easier and better. You're sure to leave energized!

Supporting Teacher Change: The Chicago Secondary Mathematics Improvement Project and the Development of Teacher Leadership ------------------------------------------ Margaret Small Young Women's Leadership Charter School o Thursday, October 4, 2001 o 3:30-5:00 p.m. o Room 2087 Science and Engineering Laboratories (SEL) ABSTRACT After almost a decade of availability of mathematics reform curricula created with support of the National Science Foundation and based on the NCTM Standards, high school mathematics teachers in Chicago continue to face an uphill struggle in making their mathematics classes an environment for a challenging, engaging and successful experience for the majority of students. The Chicago Mathematics Improvement Project (CSMIP) has worked for the past 5 years providing workshops and ongoing support for teachers using the Interactive Mathematics Program. We will look at teachers' comments on how this experience has affected their teaching and how they envision the challenges they currently face. Dr. Small was co-Principal Investigator of CSMIP.
