What will participants do in the TPC² project? 

• Participate in 2 graduate courses—Extended Analysis of Functions I and II. Courses meet for 2 weeks in the summer and 7 times during the fall semester
• Take EAF 1 in the summer of your first year and EAF 2 in the summer of your second year
• Meet weekly with the teachers in your mathematics professional learning community for 3 years

What is a mathematics professional learning community (PLC)?

A group of mathematics teachers who:

• Cooperate toward a common goal of improving student learning by enhancing their teaching and enhancing the mathematics they teach
• Dig deeply into mathematical ideas and how students come to understand them
• Work together to plan instruction and assess student learning

What benefits will participants receive?

• Person growth in mathematical knowledge
• A strong intellectual community of fellow teachers dedicated to continually improving their mathematics teaching practice
• A $1,000 per year stipend for participating in both a course and a PLC
• Tuition-free graduate credits for the EAF courses
• A laptop that becomes the teacher’s own when he or she completes the program
• New knowledge about using technology in powerful ways for teaching
