CLU, CSUCI Partner to Present State Math Institute for Local Teachers

California Lutheran University and California State University Channel Islands have again joined forces to present the California Mathematics Project Leadership Institute, a two–week grant–supported institute geared toward local math teachers. The California Mathematics Project is one of nine California Subject Matter Projects and is governed through the University of California's Office of the President.

The California Subject Matter Project's mission marks student achievement as a central goal, and teacher leadership and quality professional development as the primary vehicles to serve this goal. To help ensure that every California student achieves the highest standards of performance in mathematics, the California Mathematics Project provides professional development opportunities for teachers of mathematics in grades K–12. There are currently 24 Mathematics Project sites at UC and CSU campuses. The CLU/CSUCI Institute, hosted at CLU, is the only one located at an independent university. The institute began on June 18 and continues through July 1. Teachers will explore the topics of Reasoning with Probability, Statistics and Data Analysis during the daily sessions.

Dr.Yvonne Lux, CLU School of Education, is director of the CLU/CSUCI site with Jacqueline Gilmore, CSUCI School of Education, serving as co–director. Dr. Ivona Grzegorczyck, CSUCI Department of Mathematics, and Dr. Cynthia Wyels, CLU Department of Mathematics, are the mathematics faculty.
