The 2007 Lenses on Learning Supervision Institute is a residential institute that will prepare 2 person teams who will facilitate the course, Lenses on Learning Supervision: Focusing on Mathematical Thinking. In the Summer of 2007, from July 8 - 20, EDC will offer residential facilitator training in the Boston area for those interested in teaching Lenses on Learning Supervision: Focusing on Mathematical Thinking (once this institute is filled, we will open registration for a second institute, July 22 - August 3). In addition to introducing facilitators to the course materials, the two-week institute is designed to: expand facilitators’ perspectives on instruction for adults; provide in-depth explorations of mathematics; analyze how principals think about the ideas in the Lenses with a view to thinking about how to work with principals'' ideas about mathematics learning and teaching; and practice teach excerpts from the curriculum. The pedagogical orientation of the institute is aligned with that of the Lenses on Learning course itself as well as with the pedagogy of high quality mathematics classrooms
