Building Teacher Leadership in Mathematics

*Address the pressing challenges of improving the teaching and learning of mathematics in our middle and high schools

*Help participants think differently about how mathematics professional development programs are designed

*Describe a successful mathematics professional development program, and discuss ways to adapt it to meet local needs.

Institute participants learn about the design and implementation of Building Regional Capacity (BRC), a two-year, NSF-funded project designed to develop mathematics teacher leaders in grades 7-12.
