Title of TalkA Teachers Circle for Middle School Math Teachers
AbstractLast year I partnered with Jean Krusi, an Ames Middle School Mathematics teacher, and Gail Johnston, ISU Mathematics Lecturer, to organize and run a Teachers Circle for Middle School Mathematics Teachers. We followed up with a one week Teachers' Circle workshop in June 2009. This talk will describe our experience and supply good references for those interested in trying something like this in their own areas.
