Effective professional development is critical to the success of mathematics reform and improved student achievement. In order to build deeper content knowledge, as well as to refine understanding of pedagogical and developmental issues, teachers need ongoing opportunities to continue their own learning.

The Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance strives to provide professional development to create awareness of the importance of standards-based mathematics curriculum, instruction and assessment. Please refer to our consulting services to learn more about available school-based professional development opportunities, and check our professional development calendar for workshops and conferences on mathematics teaching and learning.
