A Math Specialist is one who is passionate about teaching and wants to further develop their mathematical knowledge, their teaching skills, and their ability to mentor and support the professional development of their fellow teachers.
The Mathematics Specialists in International Schools (MSIS) Program is designed for classroom teachers of mathematics in grades K-8. The program is a cohort model focusing on mathematics content specific to K-8 AERO Common Core Math Standards. The structure of the program is a coherent sequence of five – 3 day Institutes (16 contact hours per institute) designed to expand teachers’ understanding of the Standards, how students learn that content, effective teaching strategies and evidence of student understanding.
