[Nesabes] TERC EMPower Institute- Math Skills Building

[Bower, Carol]

Dear Adult Education Instructor, 

TERC is pleased to announce new and unique professional development
opportunities for adult education instructors-EMPower Professional
Development Workshops. 

The TERC team is currently offering a two-day summer workshop for
teachers of ABE, preGED/ASE classes to be held at TERC in Cambridge, MA
on July 26-27, 2007. Our hands-on workshop is based on the Extending
Mathematical Power (EMPower) series, an innovative math curriculum
geared towards adult learners. The EMPower curriculum fosters a pedagogy
of learning for understanding and challenges students and teachers to
extend their ideas of what it means to do math. It also promotes a
learning community in which students are encouraged to work
collaboratively, explore open-ended investigations, and share multiple
ways for solving real-world problems.  To learn more about the
curriculum, visit our website http://adultnumeracy.terc.edu. 



The first day will focus on Geometry and Measurement, and the second on
Number and Operation Sense (with fractions, decimals, and percents). The
cost for attending our workshops is $150 per participant per day and all
materials will be provided-including the EMPower teacher and student
books for the topics (a retail value of $81.80). 

To register, complete the attached registration form and mail or fax to
Sherry Soares by July 6, 2007. (Please note we have extended the
registration deadline.) If you have any questions, please call Sherry at
617 547-0430. 

We hope to see you this summer! 

Sincerely, 

Mary Jane Schmitt
